Hi,
I have just setup a new Office 365 account in Thunderbird and when I try to send an Email from the account, I get the attached error message.
When I click on "Enter New Password", the window goes away for a moment and then pops up again. There is no chance for me to put in a new password.
I know that I need to use an app password when not using Outlook which I have generated in my Microsoft account settings.
I have tried to go to "Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Saved Passwords" and have deleted all Microsoft related saved passwords. When I access my Email account again, I get prompted via the web login of Microsoft (i.e. different from the attached error message) and the app password I generated doesn't work, only the general password for my account works.
I have restarted Thunderbird and updated to the latest version, but it made no difference. I have gotten it to work on another computer, but on my mac mini, it doesn't seem to work.
Before I remove the account completely and add it again, is there any way I can fix this as I don't want to download all the messages again?
Is this a known bug in Thunderbird?
If any developer is reading this, In order to reproduce, you would have to follow these steps:
- Setup a Office365 account using the regular password used to login to the O365 website.
- When sending the first email, enter the same regular password -> the first time, the dialog to enter the will show up, but it will fail, because the app password wasn't used
- Then try to send again, click on "Enter new password" -> no dialog to enter new password is coming up.
I am using Thunderbird 115.10.1 on MacOSX Sonoma 14.1.1
The settings I have used are:
server name: outlook.office365.com
port: 587
username: my full email address
Auth Method: OAuth2
Security: STARTTLS
Thank you for reading this. Looking forward to a reply.
