Hotmail account NOT SENDING email in Thunderbird 115.2.2
I have 3 email accounts on Thunderbird: 2 hotmail, one gmail. the Gmail works after the update. the 2 hotmail account do not send emails since the update. I deleted both accounts and put them back in Thunderbird and still do not send email. They download all the emails and folders without a problem.
what should I do to make them work on Thunderbird?
Chosen solution
The instructions are in the bugzilla comment. Open Config. editor, enter oauth2.scope in the search box, delete any entries related to outlook.com, restart TB, and see if the connection works for hotmail.
Or, you can wait until it's fixed in the next release of 115.

FINALLY found it. config.(space)editor Found it by searching for CONF and it showed the editor with the space...
Deleted two lines... That seems to have fixed it... THANKS
For those (as I did) having issue as to where this 'config. editor' is, this is done in TB.
Click on the three horizontal lines in the top right of TB.
-> Then click on settings
-> In the search box, simply type: conf
-> you will then see a button with config. editor - click on that and type in the search parameters.

I had this issue as well. In my case, I had to go to my Microsoft-account's settings and generate a new app password for Thunderbird.
Before doing this, I also performed various solutions posted by others.
