Its telling us that "Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods."
I access hotmail email accounts from a MacbookAir laptop using the Apple email app. Also access from an iPhone 11.
It seems legit. Can anyone confirm if it is?

Thank you, someone understands
I'm 73 years old, if that's any consolation... What email clients do you have and use? Please list ALL of them, what version they are, what platform they are installed on, and what protocol (POP, IMAP, or Exchange Server) each uses so we can tell you which ones will work without any changes, which ones will need attention, and what specific attention each of these will need. Thanks!!
Hal, your reply to Stan433 gave me a good laugh... it is a bit tone deaf. <-(this is a friendly poke - not trying to insult you)
Stan433 just told us pretty clearly that he does not understand all the technology and tech lingo, and then you ask what "clients" does he use and "platforms" and "protocols" (POP, IMAP, Exchange).
You're very kind to try to help, and very knowledgeable, but I think you may have missed the mark on this one.
Agree, we need a layman's explanation. Microsoft (as an organisation) have become increasingly "nerdy" over the years and this email notification from Microsoft is a prime example of this. One needs to be an Engineer or IT expert to understand their language.
Yep. Exactly what I am talking about. All the gobblygook that I have no idea about. I guess I just wait until sept and see
