In the past I've had no problem setting up email server accounts in Thunderbird - I have 5 active connections right now - but I'm having trouble connecting to Office365.com.
According to this web page I should use
That worked fine for inbound -the IMAP connection works fine - but the SMTP connection times out.
I read the OAuth 2 is now required for these connections. I have no experience with it but I specified it and it worked for IMAP (as I said). I assume I'm supposed to use the same userid and password for both the IMAP and the SMTP connection (although I have no idea what is done with them when OAuth 2 is used). Thunderbird allows me to specify a different userid for the SMTP connection but I haven't seen that I need to ... and I have no idea where I can enter it's associated password.
I know nothing about Office365. Is it possible that IMAP is enabled for this account but SMTP is not?
Any ideas what I do next to debug this?
I don't know if it matters, but I'm running Thunderbird 128.1.
According to this web page I should use
Code:
Protocol Server name Port Encryption method
POP3 Outlook.office365.com 995 SSL/TLS
IMAP4 Outlook.office365.com 993 SSL/TLS
SMTP Smtp.office365.com 587 STARTTLS
