I have this problem - Outlook 2016 doesn't accept password or app password - and i think it is a growing World wide Microsoft problem :-(

See also here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Outlook/comments/19dx64p/outlook_2013_windows_10_suddenly_not_accepting/Outlook gives me this: (startede yesterday)

I have 2 PC's with HOTMAIL accounts in Outlook 2016 ...

They both have this error.

I do get mails ... but I can´t send mails. Yesterday it did work for 1-2 hours ... but right now the error is there all the time :-(

Please help me.

Thanks in advance

Pierre

    I am using multiple accounts and Mailbird. This morning is the first time in a week that all accounts have synced correctly at the same time and have continued working for the past hour. That is a good sign. I hope this is resolved.

    So sorry. Yes Thunderbird. My mistake. What mobile ( Android) email client uses OAuth (other than perhaps Gmail)?

    K-9 Mail.

    I'm glad I found your vital server tip as Thunderbird didn't mention it.

    Thunderbird.

    Yup, Gmail and Thunderbird. I've been happy with both so I have no experience with others, and nor would I if they can't implement something as fundamental as OAuth2. Fetchmail's lack of OAuth2 support probably means I will have to look elsewhere for my Linux-based email collection needs.
