I have received an email from Microsoft advising that from a date in September third party apps will no longer be able to access outlook email accounts. Does this mean I will no longer be able to use Thunderbird - which has been my preferred email client for many years? Thanks Nigel

You'll have to adjust your authentication method to OAuth2 in the server settings for your account. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202#w_changes-to-authentication

Thanks, Christ1 I have tried to make the suggested changes, but when I try to change the settings on the outgoing server there is no option to select '0Auth2'... Any ideas? Thanks again Nigel

You'll have to use the correct server names as well. See https://support.mozilla.org/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202
