Hotmail/Outlook accounts are not working with Thunderbird!! I haven't been able to send emails from my hotmail account. I could receive but not send. I then deleted it off thunderbird to then reinstall to try fix the issue but that didn't work. I am putting all the correct server details in and the correct password but it isn't working. It just says checking password until it times out. My AV and windows defender are off, ports are forwarded, it's nothing to do with my network. There's something between thunderbird and microsoft that doesn't work. When I had the account in my thunderbird, it came up with an authenticate smtp issue error code.

I'm on Windows 10 and the latest version of TB. Thanks

PLEASE HELP IVE BEEN ON THIS FOR 5 HOURS!!!!
