I've provided all of the other data, no problem. But the <Your login> field has only "YOURDOMAIN\yourusername" in it as a format hint. The field carries an Info symbol, but it's greyed out.

There are many possible domains, e.g. microsoft.com, office365.com, outlook.com, each with possible 3LDs, and the domain-name of the organisation that provides my account.

The most obvious (MYORGDOMAIN\Roger.Clarke) gets the error-message: > Authentication failed. Please check the username and password. (I checked, and they're the same as I use for a webmail login there).

Leaving it empty gets this error-message: > Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password. (That about covers the possibilities then ...).

Ah, I hadn't restarted TB because I assumed that, once saved, the allow-cookies settings were active. As you described, the OAuth window duly asked for my password.

Great work thanks David/sfhowes!!

I'll close this thread when I can. (I don't think I can click on <Solved the problem> until after I've posted this final message).

P.S. for completeness. It then failed with: > Sending of password for user Roger.Clarke@acs.org.au did not succeed. Mail server outlook.office365.com responded: Authentication failure: unknown user name or bad password.

But that's the test of the organisation's MS settings that I was trying to perform, so now I can take the next step in my dealings with them.

Would you please post a screenshot of the screen asking for <your login>? That may help. Thank you.

Thanks David.

Attachment 1 is the settings. Those showing in that attachment were apparently provided by the auto lookup on the server, when I clicked Re-test. But they're the same as the ones I'd keyed in, that were provided to by the organisation.

Attachment 2 is the rejection message when I clicked Done.

Regards ... Roger[[Att2 Rejection Knowledge Base Article|Att1 Settings]]

I see the attachment / linkage format broke. (I'm a newbie here, sorry).

Try it by changing the outgoing server to smtp.office365.com, 587, STARTTLS, and for both incoming and outgoing use OAuth2 authentication.

I made those changes. That got as far as login.microsoftonline.com. It demanded I loosen up on cookies. I allowed first session-cookies, then 'Allow' permanent on all of: - microsoftonline.com, office365.com, microsoft.com, acs.org.au.

It continues to decline, as per: https://rogerclarke.com/SOS/Att3-Challenge-2024-04-21at13.30.17.png

When I closed that window, it rejected as before: https://rogerclarke.com/SOS/Att4-Rejection-2024-04-21at13.31.48.png

It may be the password. I attempted to set up your account and just entered name, email address -NO password and pressed enter key. A microsoft window popped up to verify password. That indicates (to me) that the configuration may not be the issue.

Did you allow cookies in your browser or in TB? Cookies must be accepted in TB Settings/Privacy & Security, at least for the MS site, to allow OAuth authentication to store an oauth:// token in Saved Passwords. Remove the entries for the account from Saved Passwords, restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth window when prompted.

When the OAuth window appears, enter the account password, not an app password. If two-step verification is set on the account, which usually requires using an app password, disable it, as it's not necessary with OAuth2 authentication.
