I’ve wanted so hard to switch to thunderbird completely. My email is outlook and has the Authenticator set up for login, which has caused me issues adding my inbox. I found an add on but it had a few that I think was monthly.

Thanks for replying, I ended up figuring this out like two days ago. Turns out you have to generate an app password from the security options on Microsoft’s website.

I think thats one option, the OAuth way explained in the link should be the more modern one.

When it gets to signing in it fails and when I set it up with exchange it wants a paid add on. I think it had something to do with an owl. It was a couple months ago.
