Hello. Thunderbird was working, but for the last week or so Thunderbird has not connected to my O365 email account(Godaddy), The password is correct as I have installed Outlook and Outlook connects to O365 with the same password, I can access webmail with the same password. I have un-installed Thunderbird-reinstalled same version - nogo, Installed the new version 115.01-nogo.

When I add a new account a small window open to GoDaddy and just sits there on the verafiying account details, I have changed the default web app from and to Firefox, Edge. I have no Virus checker or pop up blocler running. Thank you. Mark.

Hello Mark, I understand your frustration with Thunderbird not connecting to your O365 email account. It's great that you've already tried a few troubleshooting steps. To address this, let's give these steps a shot: Firstly, ensure Thunderbird is up-to-date. Then, try creating a new profile in Thunderbird and add your O365 account again. Sometimes profiles can get corrupted. Also, double-check your O365 server settings, as they might need an update. Lastly, if you're using two-factor authentication for your O365 account, generate an "App Password" from your O365 account settings and use that in Thunderbird. Give these a go, and hopefully, Thunderbird will be back in action.
