OAuth2 asks for work or school account?
Hello, maybe I am doing something wrong but this thing blocks me from using outlook mail.
So I've got the letter to switch to oauth2 method, did this in my thunderbird and it pops up login.microsoftonline.com window now to authenticate my account. But when I try to login, it says "Use your work or school account", which I don't have of course. My MS account is a personal one which I am using for like 20 years already.
This happens either when I switch existing account to OAuth2, or when I create new account in thunderbird (auto creation correctly fills all the modern server details, including server address and auth methods for both imap and smtp).
Thanks in advance
And for anyone having same problem, the fix was to update Thunderbird itself.
I don't remember which version I was using before, the latest 128.2 fixed this error for me. The authentication window seems to have a live.com address now, guess these outlook settings were integrated in TB version instead of being stored and updated somewhere onliine on mozilla servers
p.s. oh well and as usual TB update broke something, now I have to again find the settings for fonts which were reset after update
