[NJTechDiv] multi factor authentication

[Mario Brusco]

On July 3, I received an email from Microsoft notifying me that it would 
be necessary for me to update the sign-in technology of my Hotmail 
account before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email access.

Since I use Thunderbird with my Hotmail account using POP:

Basically, what I need to do is to change the authentication method of 
the POP and SMTP server to use OAuth2. It seems to be straight forward, 
but I'm finding that it's not.

The instructions specify that the address for the POP server should be 
outlook.office365.com, but immediately I receive an error that a login 
to office365.com cannot be completed, and therefore I cannot continue 
with the rest of the instructions. If I leave the address as 
POP-mail.outlook.com, I can then choose OAuth2 for the authentication 
method, and continue with the rest of the instructions.

Now, the SMTP server should be SMTP-mail.outlook.com, but there is no 
choice of OAuth2 for authentication. However if I change the address to 
SMTP.office365.com, I can choose OAuth2 for the authentication, but when 
I press the OK button, I receive an error that the login to 
smtp.office365.com cannot be completed.

The resource that started this mess is:

I would appreciate any help as to what the server addresses and other 
settings if warranted should be. I'd like to get this done as soon as 
possible so retrieving and sending email from me continues after 9/16/24.
