Pop/SMTP for Office365 account works with TB in Windows 10 but not in Linux Mint Cinnamon 19 despite sharing the profile - any ideas?

Matt replied

I have a dual boot machine that works well. I share the Thunderbird profile between Windows 10 and Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon desktop. This has worked well but recently, one of my accounts was migrated to Office365. I got the POP/SMTP connection working well in Windows 10 but it fails to connect in Linux Mint. It hangs for a long while and then, with no error message, stops trying.

Has anyone had this problem or does anyone have any ideas about what's going wrong?
