Would that be done on the user or developer end? I would guess that for it to be included by default Roy would have to see if it's possible.

Based on this thread it doesn't work with Office 365 accounts. But normal Outlook accounts do actually work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm using, an office 365 account and that protocol is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanR20 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Microsoft is so mixed up, now the account is working again with normal protocol. It probably won't last though, eventually they will force OAuth2 exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mina7601 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 @DanR20 Did @Mathwiz's method (which I linked in the previous page) work for you? It's for IceDove-UXP, but it should work in MailNews as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to confuse you, I'm currently using this account with a normal password, but I just wanted to show you that the OAuth2 option is offered, which I use in Gmail for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now at least normal password is working again so I'll stay with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be tinkering with the protocol again. Normal password won't last so with Thunderbird 115.0 I already moved my accounts to OAuth2. That protocol is available in pop accounts so it's easier to just do it now and get it over with. With mailnews I'll hold off as long as possible unless Roy can add OAuth2 to pop as well. Much prefer that to IMAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When files become corrupted it can affect the operation of programs or directly break vital parts such as the boot sector of your disk.
