No chance to connect some Outlook accounts to Thunderbird?

Adriatik replied
Adriatik

I have some more email accounts with Hotmail and Outlook but there is popping an error just after the popup where it asks for permissions to connect Thunderbird to my account, and I say Yes and also receive the email that some new apps have connected to my accounts, but Thunderbird just at that step instead of Finish it displays that error message like asking again for Username and Password and even if I fill there the correct details it doesn't go further. Something is unclear at that step, because I also tried removing the passkey from the respective account Page at outlook.com and also the 2FA but the same.

Can you help me?


Thanks

So at that screen I refill the credentials but it just says error like the screenshot below, while I receive the email that an app has been connected to my email account

It seems that the issue is only with outlook.com emails. I Installed a free and paid email client EMclient and it added the same email address successfully, the one that Thunderbird can not add.

I noticed that the EMclient opened a webpage browser window with outlook.com asking me if I am intentionally adding this and I accepted and it was done

The solution was found by ChatGPT. I didn't tried it thinking it is so stupid but seems that it knows some things

Advanced configuration then putting these settings as in screenshot
