Why does oauth2 not allow me to log in with a personal account like hotmail/outlook when setting up email accounts in Thunderbird?
I'm trying to add my email accounts to Thunderbird, I manage to get everything set up okay (using "outlook.office365.com" as the SMTP server rather than the auto-selected "mail-smtp@outlook.com" that is autofilled), but when I try to add it and the popup window for Oauth2 opens up, I enter my email and password for my hotmail and outlook accounts, I get an error saying:
You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead.
What's going on? I never had trouble setting up Oauth2 with my personal accounts before, until I switched to a Windows 11 computer (was using Windows 10 before).
What am I doing wrong? Or is this some kind of messup with Microsoft. I set up my Gmail account (with Oauth2) without any trouble?
I can't find any solutions to this online. Please help. I'm desperate to get access to my email on my new computer.

outlook.office365.com is the incoming IMAP or POP server. The outgoing server is smtp.office365.com, 587, STARTTLS, OAuth2, email address.
