Investigation: Bug 1881998 Can't Get Thunderbird to sync up Oauth For Outlook 365 SMTP Server.
- Start with existing hotmail account rtanglao2024 AT hotmail.com
- Delete the account in Thunderbird 115, Windows 11 (hamburger > Account Settings > Remove Account)
- Re-add it and see if if there is an issue with sending and receiving email (Hamburgers > New Account > Existing Email; leave Password field empty; click Continue)
- and of it course it worked
"I setup an Office 365 email address, but it messed up in the setup. I was able to OAuth Verify the incoming settings, but Thunderbird errored to before finalizing the smtp. " <-- IMAP or POP is fine but SMTP is misconfigured
- Incorrect Time of January 1st (see Screenshot below) caused the problem
- Obscure edge case causes Thunderbird to improperly configure SMTP?
- Some sort of error caused by the Original Poster!??
- add-ons, Anti-virus or other 3rd party software

Steps to reproduce:
I tried to reauthorize Outlook 365 SMTP Server on an email account I had deleted and added back.
Actual results:
I setup an Office 365 email address, but it messed up in the setup. I was able to OAuth Verify the incoming settings, but Thunderbird errored to before finalizing the smtp. So when I send emails, they fail, it states, Password to send emails is incorrect, please update password. However, if I am using Oauth then I have to to login, but Thunderbird Does nothing. Deleting the Account, and SMTP Server and adding back does nothing for me. I think I have to delete the entire profile, and thunderbird and clear temp files and then try to reinstall. The pain is that I have 7 accounts, so I will have to do it again.
Expected results:
Email Sent, and it needed to verify outlook 365 oauth it would popup a browser page and I would be able to login and verify so that I can send emails with outlook 365's smtp server.
