Notes

• The Microsoft / Office 365 / Hotmail / Outlook.com (Thunderbird) profile uses Client ID imported from the Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client (the source codes are available at this page). The Microsoft / Office 365 / Hotmail / Outlook.com (MS Oauth Test) profile uses Client ID we found on the EmailArchitect website. Alternatively, you can create your own 'OAuth 2.0 Application', see instructions on the Microsoft website.

• Note that sending e-mail messages via SMTP using OAuth 2.0 or receiving e-mail messages via POP3 using OAuth 2.0 sometimes may not work. The problem is presumably on Microsoft side and depends on the type of Microsoft account (Office 365, Microsoft Exchange, Hotmail / Outlook.com) and its settings. On the one hand, Microsoft constantly warns about disabling Basic authentication for Office 365 and Exchange Online users: Deprecation of Basic authentication in Exchange Online. On the other hand, something may not work and the problem persists for several days, weeks or even months. Our latest tests with a regular Microsoft account (Hotmail / Outlook.com) show that everything (IMAP, POP3 and SMTP connection using OAuth 2.0) works as expected (June 2023). However, based on the above, for most Microsoft accounts it seems currently reasonable to use Basic authentication.
