I'm trying to set up Thunderbird since Microstupid decided to stop Windows 10 Mail , I am on Version 21H2 Windows 10 , (its several years old , but the Feature Updates after that one slow my PC's down to about half speed and cause constant blue screens , so I found a program that shuts off Windows Feature Updates but the cost is , I can't download anything that goes through the Microsoft Store because it says I need to Update Windows , not going to happen , so I have to find a email program that lets me install it without needing a Windows Update to continue .. so here I am)
When setting it up it wanted my email , which are Hotmail accounts (I have 2 of them I need to set up) , so when I entered the requested info it wants my Password , so I enter it and it takes me to a Live Login window , where it gives a error saying Too Many Requests , I have no idea what that means and why it gives the error and no explanation how to fix it , I did a search here but it says 0 results for that inquiry , so I can't go any further , I am currently using Outlook(PWA) so I have it on my Taskbar , but it sucks , and for some reason I can only set up 1 email account so I can't get my other emails from my other Hotmail account
Both my accounts go through Microsoft and both use the same Password , so its going to be a issue setting up either of them if I can't get my Password entered without a error because its going to give the same error if I set up the other account , also the "Server" is going through Office 365 and I do not use that , so not sure how to manually configure the incoming and outgoing server for Pop 3 (I think that is what Hotmail uses), its been so many years since I had to do that manually I forgot , but I think that is the problem , is its going through Office 365 and I uninstalled that along with Outlook Classic because it wanted me to pay for it at the last second after installing it , all because some 12 year old at Microstupid wants my PC to act like a Cell Phone while claiming Windows Mail is a Security Risk when I have never been hacked and have used it or some form of it since Windows 95 but they just shut down my email without even telling me they were doing it , its complete BS and Microsoft should be sued and/or FORCED to put it back the way it was , just for the stress they caused
And I have not found a email that is the same as Windows 10 Mail that doesn't require me to Update Windows to install it , even though the programs are not part of Microsoft , so I'm hoping this functions like it , but I can't get it to complete the setup to find out , and I HOPE all my emails and Contacts just transfer over automatically , because I sure don't want to do that manually
Anyway , How do I get past that Error ?? , I am thinking it has to do with it using Office 365 for the Server , which I know was never the old way to do it (back in Windows 95-XP) it used some other Server setup which is what I "think" is the conflict
Also hopefully this works with 21H2 version of Windows because I'm not going to Update it after having to Reformat about 6 times because of the stupid Feature Updates my other PC is a sluggish mess because I updated it and so I just shut it off till I can Reformat it , it takes about a month to get my PC back where it was before , every time I have to do that and I usually end up losing something along the way that won't work anymore , so I won't do it again
Any helpful info/guidance would be appreciated .... Thanks ... Jim
