Outlook.com is intermittently rejecting password
Outlook.com is intermittently rejecting the app password I created to access my IMAP account. Please fix this.

"intermittently"should become "permantly".
I think that MS i deploying a new version which no more support login / password IMAP authentification....

outlook.office365.com is currently rejecting about 50% of my login attempts with my app password, so it's intermittent for me.
It's been recognised as a "known issue" now: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-and-other-apps-are-unable-to-connect-to-outlook-com-f4202ebf-89c6-4a8a-bec3-3d60cf7deaef

DomP66 For me it is more than 90% fails.
I use crontab to check my account every 30 minutes with fetchmail.Since about one week I get more and more failures. Now I get only 3 or 4 successful login each day.
