Using Thunderbird b150, but have tried -esr and regular TB. New install of Win11 26200.8037. Up to date Firefox. Have been trying for a week for Thunderbird to authenticate my Outlook account. Worked with Copilot. Finally found a TB setting, network.proxy.allow_hijacking_localhost, that was set to FALSE. Set it to TRUE and Outlook account authenticated. Able to finally send mail. This was last night. This morning: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again. No changed to any programs. Have deleted Outlook saved password. Thunderbird NEVER offers to get password/authenticate. I am truly and sincerely frustrated.

If someone can help me, would sincerely appreciate.

Today I have experienced a problem downloading new messages, bulk, trash or anything else in my mail server into thunderbird. it requires my primary password and then my regular password. I just set up my primary password so I understand why it is asking for that, but I don't understand why it is also asking for my regular password before I can get access to the mail server that I am using. the regular password was set up on 6/17/24 and until today it was working fine.
