I am unable to add outlook.com using new account hub
Thunderbird forces me to use the new amount hub. And I get authentication error when trying to setup outlook.com email

Hi sangram.aglave, first please make sure that you have IMAP access enabled in your outlook settings: https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/options/mail/forwarding
Now open Thunderbird and click on "Email" under "Set Up Another Account" Enter your name and the Email address. Click on "MANUAL CONFIGURATION" underneath the Email address field.
Enter the following details: Protocol: IMAP Hostname: outlook.office365.com Port: 993 Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2 Username: YourUsername@outlook.com
Do not click on continue! Instead, click on "ADVANCED CONFIG" Click on "OK" in the dialog that opens. Close the Account Settings tab Click on Inbox, so that your mails and folders load.
Everything should work now.

It solved my problem but what is strange is that Mozilla Thunderbird never recorded or asked for my outlook password.
