Hi there,

I have looked for hours on your site on how to get thunderbird sending emails, I have attached this to my outlook account and used all the correct IMAP/Port/Server settings that are displayed.

For some reason when I go to send an email, it says to me that "login to server smtp.office365.com with username ****myusername**** failed" THEN it says "Unable to authenticate outgoing server (SMTP). Please check the password & verify the 'Authentication Method' in account settings, Outgoing Server (SMTP)" I have done all the above multiple times, I have even tried other settings, and it STILL DOES NOT WORK.

I would greatly love some help with this as it is now becoming very tasking and frustrating. Please can someone help me out ASAP as I would love to start making use of Thunderbird.

Thanks - Max!

It will help if you post screenshot of your SMTP server setting pane.

Hi David - please see attached, I am guessing this is what you mean. FYI - the description has also been 'Microsoft 365' with the same settings, also did not work. I have cropped out my email for obvious reasons. Thanks!

Thought worthwhile to show the pop up I am getting. As mentioned I have tried changing the Authentication method to Normal Password - still nothing. Thanks

Did you contact with email support? You should check your settings with them.
