I have upgraded to the Microsoft 365 Business Professional email service which should allow me to continue with Thunderbird, now that basic authentication is no longer supported.

I have enabled Exchange settings. Also, POP/IMAP and SMTP are authorized in the MS 365 account, and those setting are correct in T-Bird. From within Thunderbird, a login screen for the MS 365 email account is generated when T-Bird attempts to log in to the server, but the log in just takes me to the server page in the browser.

This help article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202 advises that Thunderbird may need to be authorized. I followed the link, but was not able to make it work.

Given the following provided link, what is to be used for {tenant-id} ? https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant-id}/adminconsent?client_id=9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753

Any other advice? Thank you very much!

And now, I can confirm that following authorization of Thunderbird using the provided link (with my tenant id inserted), and with POP, IMAP, and SMTP authorized, Thunderbird was able to download my emails!

Still working on sending. May need to adjust the SMTP setting.

Here is an update.

I realized that {tenant id} was a value I needed to get from the Microsoft Azure portal, which I did by signing in to portal.azure.com as an administrator and locating the settings for the active directory under => Manage => Settings. After using this ID in the previously listed link, I was able to get to a page where I could authorize Thunderbird as a client.

I have not been able to log in to the MS 365 email account through Thunderbird yet though.
