Thunderbird 102.7.0 was scheduled to be released on Wednesday, January 18, but it was decided to hold the release because of an issue detected which affects authentication of Microsoft 365 Business accounts.

Please note that automatic updates are currently disabled, and users of Microsoft 365 Business are cautioned not to update.

Users who updated already and encounter difficulty can simply reinstall 102.6.1. https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/102.6.1/

Thunderbird should automatically detect your existing profile. However, you can launch the Profile Manager if needed by following these instructions. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-thunderbird-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager

Alternatively you can wait for the release of Thunderbird 102.7.1 which has a fix. It is expected to ship soon, possibly sometime this week.
