I have an outlook account that will not install. I get the challenge, to send me an authentication number at another email address, and that says okay, you can close this window and continue, but then at 'continue' in Thunderbird I get an authentication error.
-I have added the email on another computer in Thunderbird and send/receive email, no error
-I have added the email in the New Outlook email app and send/receive email, no error
-I have added a different outlook account in Thunderbird on this computer, no error
-I can log into the Microsoft live email app and send/receive email, no error
-I have uninstalled Thunderbird as admin, removed the Thunderbird folders in %appdata% and %localappdata% for both the admin and user accounts, cleared the cache and cookies on the computer and in Thunderbird (including the token), then reinstalled Thunderbird under the admin account, logged into Thunderbird as the user and added the problem Outlook account; same issue. Press Continue and authentication error, even though the challenge screen says everything is connected and okay. Then I install the other Outlook account without any issues.
I am convinced that somewhere on this machine there is something that knows and hates this one email account. It is possibly because the profile file had a problem and I deleted the xulstore.json file per instructions to resolve the problem, but the file is there and the profile is working again for the other Outlook accounts, just not this one particular account.
Any Obi-wan or other wise counsel out there?
