MozillaThunderbird and the new Outlook.com domain access requirements
Good morning! Are there any news regarding the new e-mail access requirements for the outlook and hotmail.com domains by using MozillaThunderbird client? Are these new access authorization policies will go to be implemented into MozillaThunderbird? Thanks for the attention.

It should work already, as far as I know. See for example: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thun... Best, Cor

One thing which can/will make it to not work is "javascript.enabled"; if you have set it to "false", this will not work for setting up new accounts/authorization mechanisms. As I really don't like arbitrary javascripts to be executed on my system, I have this in my user.js: user_pref("javascript.enabled", false); When adding new accounts, one has to remember to re-enable that; it can be disabled again afterwards. HTML e-mails alone is a bad thing in the first place, but JavaScript in such an e-mail, no way for me ;-)
Best,
Cor

l8er manfred Thank you Manfred,
Currently I get some requests by Thunderbird to change my password or retry the access again, when I'm on one of my 2 accounts (hotmail/outlook), but so far I'm still able to send/receive e-mails from such domains. In case I will be blocked definitely, I will try to use the java-script option.
