Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps.
Outlook sent me an email on 3rd July stating "Update your sign-in technology before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email access."
As of today, 23rd July 2024, I am unable to access my Outlook email account through Thunderbird as it repeatedly asks me for a new password. Is there any way to resolve this and continue receiving my Outlook. com emails through Thunderbird?.
I do not want to access my emails through the Outlook app.
Version of Thunderbird I am using is 115.13.0 (64-bit), on an M1 Macbook Pro running Mac OS Sonoma 14.5.
Thanks for your assistance.

If you read the URL that is linked to in that email, there is a concise section devoted expressly to Thunderbird users.

Many thanks David. Manually changing the server and authentication method allowed me to send emails but not save them locally. Neither could I receive emails.
As a result I tried method 2, removed the account from Thunderbird and then reinstated it. This resolved the matter as Thunderbird automatically chose the correct settings and as a result my outlook account is now fully functional on Thunderbird.
Many thanks for your help.

I am using Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (32-bit), on Windows 10. I could change the the log in setting to OAuth2, but this option is not available in the settings for the outgoing server. Is there another way to change the outgoing server setting? I am reluctant to remove the account and start again. I did check for updates and my Thunderbird is up to date. Thank you Gerald

I am having the same issue. I hope there is a solution for this.
Try these: - incoming: outlook.office365.com, port 993, SSL/TLS, Oauth2 (assuming IMAP) - outgoing: smtp.office365.com, port 587, STARTTLS, Oauth2
To this day i can receive emails on my pc but i can not send
im out of options on how i can be receiving but cant send when i have the following settings
- incoming: outlook.office365.com, port 993, SSL/TLS, Oauth2 (MAP)
- outgoing: smtp.office365.com, port 587, STARTTLS, Oauth2
or should i just delete the account from Thunderbird and then reneter emails accounts and it will auto fill the incoming outgoing???
what error messages are you receiving? do you have your full email address in the SMTP setup?
