Hello.

I just downloaded thunderbird and I am trying to setup my hotmail account. After it found the connection setting I click "done". Then it says "checking password" and quickly after it says "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." The username and password are correct and the configuration is correct according to thunderbird. What is the problem?

Thank you for your reply.

No they are not the same. I received an email from microsoft probably because of the login attempt with thunderbird, saying I have to use an app password because I use 2FA. I made an app password and now it works.

Kind regards, Klaas
