I am so annoyed, MS clearly sabotage this to push people back to their horrific software! I am so against that idea I lost an entire full work day today trying to do something SO simple, to install Thunderbird (for a friend) and connect it to MS365 email address.

It's IMAP, it should have taken SECONDS! It did create it, pulled in tons of email, but refuses to SEND any! I tried every single suggestion I could find online, going back years. NOTHING works! All i get every time whne sending email is : "Login to server smtp.office365.com failed. "

Does anyone have a magic cure, 6 solid hours of this and I still refuse to give up hopes of making Thunderbird the active mail client! Thanks

Maybe, if you post a screenshot of the SMTP server settings pane, someone here can make suggestions. Seeing the screenshot is import to ensure we see what thunderbird sees. thank you.
