Thunderbird says "login failed" when trying to send an email
I followed the instructions in the aritcle on the search page and it still didn't work. I worked with Geek Squad. They completely did all kinds of different settings and they all failed. When I click the test button, it says it connects successfully.
It tells me to retry or update the password.
I am absolutley typing in the correct password.

Microsoft stinks. That's why I am trying so hard to get Thunderbird to work. When I reply to an email in an email chain that I was the last to reply to, it responds to me. I need to reply to all, the remove myself. Thunderbird corrrectly responds to last person other than me.
I was downloading Office 365 before so I could try "Old Outlook". As I said, that failed. It worked today. Yay! I switched to the old layout. It's read only without a subscription. I had Office 2013. I have the codes, but it won't let me download it.
I think I will have to try Geek Squad again. Everything I search says it should work, but I have no idea how to find the setting.
You have been absolutely amazing. I don't know if you are a Mozilla employee, or just a very nice person, but I cannot tell how much I appreciate your help (and you keep some amazing hours on this forum... :) ).
Thank you.
Thanks for your compliment. You will eventually figure it out, I did read early on that your password to authenticate must be different from your account login password to outlook. And you had to create one. If you missed that Ide recommend posing that question support. I would need screenshots to be able to assist really on a one on one basis. Hope you find an easy resolution.
