Can you use Thunderbird with a two-step verification email account?
I want to access an Outlook.com email. It has 2-step verification. It also says I may be missing a domain name before the email. Not sure what that is. DomainName/myemailname@outlook.com.

No! Thunderbird accesses outlook.com using oauth authentication (microsoft call it modern authentication) so you will not be using two factor authentication to access your mail using Thunderbird.
It also says I may be missing a domain name before the email. Not sure what that is. DomainName/myemailname@outlook.com.
What says that? Perhaps the web page served by Microsoft/Outlook to authenticate your access. I think you need to offer a load more information on what your do and what response you get and when. I screen capture of the error would also probably help as it would do a lot to set context.

Thanks for the reply, Matt. I will deal w/ this matter by other means. I wasn't sure how 2-step worked w/ Thunderbird and that's half the solution. Best wishes. Consider this query closed.
