What do you all use for Office365? I tried the thunderbird o365 plugin but it failed to send and was requesting 2fa every time I restarted

Oooh, I'd be curious to hear people's opinions here. I'm on GSuite (using a combo of gmail via web browser and Thunderbird on local desktop), but really wanting to go elsewhere like Fastmail...But fastmail is just a tad too pricey for me and my family (when adding in all family members)...So I was considering to go to office365 - that is, add on the plan which includes email/exchange online, whatever its called now. This is not ideal, but because i'm already paying an annual subscription for my family to use the office 365 stack (word, excel, and especially the tons of storage on onedrive)...i'm begrudgingly likely going to use their email product. But, what do people use for office 365 mail on linux?

  fwiw, I don’t think they use standard IMAP which I’ve found limiting. I don’t particularly like the product and have spent a considerable amount of time avoiding it where I can, but I don’t make the decisions around it. The best solution I’ve found has been outlook in a windows vm

The webmail version because literally nothing else works. Not mail spring. Not thunderbird. Not imap. Fucking shittiest email I've ever had the displeasure of using. And when you email from the web interface each email takes ten seconds to send. Garbage. I try to check and use it as few times as possible. Sometimes I forget. That's a productive day. Piece of shit. I can't believe they pay money for this garbage. It also doesn't work on other platforms like android or Mac. It used to. Not to mention it requires weak passwords since it botches the password change constantly.

I use Thunderbird with O365 without any issues at all.
