I sometimes dream that Mozilla would somehow convince Microsoft to make it easier to use Thunderbird with Outlook365. Many companies that use Outlook365 disable IMAP and SMTP entirely even though Thunderbird supports IMAP and SMTP with OAuth2. Microsoft has spread enough FUD to convince its customers that Outlook is the only client to be allowed and actively encouraged disabling “legacy protocols” for “security reasons”.
Thunderbird doesn’t support the Microsoft specific Graph API. While there are some extensions that could enable working with Outlook365 using some kludgy approaches, it would be better to have that natively supported.
