Cant get hotmail to work on thunderbird linux ubuntu
Hi I tried to google this but as you can guess that was a exercise in futility.
So I installed thunderbird via flatpac as suggested by the main website
I went to account add a account entered my email and password.
Clicked continue twice setup filled in the info and got a error saying
Authentication error.
Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.
now i know both are correct as i logged in vai firefox and checked both excepted.
pic below best i can do dam thing wont let me set window size so it got cropped hopefully gives info needed
so I tried to google the settings of incoming and outgoing 4 out of 5 pages i found where set as the pc has set it.
at a loss now guys no clue what to do any help would be appreciated.
ty in advance.

hotmail account should be easily added using automatic account setup:

If there is authentication issue, the connection may have problem. You can wait for a while and retry.
wxie ty for reply i been using thunderbird for years on windows and as you said it just works but Linux is new (THANKS TMP 2.0) and I have found just works doesnt apply to anything linux. LOL
Update. For the briefest second it said authentication pop up then authentication failed. Caught it the last attempt its there and gone. No popup and this is a default install off firefox with no add-ons to block anything why I work my head around linux.
Internet is as ok average 76mbs as its ever been its slow but its enough for my need never caused a issue in 10 years except grand kids mocking me that it might as well be dial up (im kinda proud they know what that is).
not shore if that help any.
