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

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.
- DomP66Jan 27, 2024Brass ContributorGreetings fellow Fetchmail crontab user! Ultimately we need OAuth2 support on Fetchmail, but the developers sadly seem reluctant.

DomP66 Strange : If I use POP3, there is no problem.
But pop3 only checks incoming mail, not the folders.... That's why I use Imap- DomP66Jan 27, 2024Brass Contributor
Interesting, I've always used the Fetchmail default of AUTO (IMAP before POP3). I might force POP3 if it goes on much longer.
