Thunderbird installing Hotmail account
Have a Hotmail.com account and tried adding to Thunderbird. I did have hotmail installed via office365 etc host/smtp, that gave me alot of junk. Tried using either server hosts: pop/imap-mail.outlook.com And smtp via office365. Either way it tells my user/password is incorrect and tries to use from its data the office365 setup. Which password should use, Windows pw, Outlook pw or Live pw. Or is there another method of just having plain Hotmail.com

Try these: - incoming: outlook.office365.com, port 993, SSL/TLS, Oauth2 (assuming IMAP) - outgoing: smtp.office365.com, port 587, STARTTLS, Oauth2
Thanks, But this is what I'm trying to avoid having that set-up previously and having a load of junk from office365.
Read somewhere on the MS community forum it can be done differently avoiding office365, but cant the page now.
Ok, all we go with are the specs provided by email hosts.
These are the settings I use for HotMail and I've never had "a load of junk from office365," just my messages.
Server Name: outlook.office365.com Port: 993 [995 for POP] User Name: <your e-mail address> Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2
'Outgoing Server (SMTP)':—
Server Name: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection security: STARTTLS Authentication method: OAuth2 User Name: <your e-mail address>
The trouble with looking on-line is that what worked when somebody wrote something may not work now.
If you do get junk and say exactly what it is I may be able to help you get rid of it.
