Hello,

I added a new Outlook account to Thunderbird and it is not showing in Thunderbird. I added the new email account to Outlook client, and the email is comign in fine. So, its a Thunderbird issue.

I used the default IMAP settings when addding the new account.

I gave it the required/requested "permissions" as promoted.

This use to work fine in Thunderbird, as I have added several Outloook acounts prior which are coming in fine, but it seems it is no longer working now.

Hi,

Where did you get the "default IMAP settings"?

What are they?

Who is your e-mail provider?

My email provider is Outlook(Microsoft)

Thunderbird provided the default IMAP settings when I added the new email account to Thunderbird. (they were automatically discovered in Thunderbirds email provider database)

Right, sorry, I became carried away by my questions.

Did the account creation get completed? Any error messages?

It might be helpful to try to set up the account again and report here exactly what happens.

No worries, appreciate the help. Yes, it gave confirmation it setup successfully, and I received no errors. I tried doing this on 2 different PCs, one laptop and one a desktop with the same results. I added the account twice, no change. I tried with a brand new Outlook email I just created, same thing happens. Its a problem between Thunderbird and Outlook. It might be related to the permissions it asks me to grant? It's a very perplexing situation.
