Details
Steps to reproduce:
- I have three outlook.com accounts. All use Microsoft security 2fa thus all are Oauth2 required
- Adding the third account caused the Oauth2 popup page for MS authentication to show one the prior email accounts, not the one I was adding.
- The first time I only noticed it after MS sent a security response to my phone.
- I went back to the smtp window to check the data on that window . it was correct.
- I tired to send a test email with the new account and I received the MS request to send the security code to my phone. I did so properly.
- I responded on phone
- New Account still cannot send email as I get a SMTP login error
Actual results:
New Account still cannot send email as I get a SMTP login error
Expected results:
Should have been able to send email with credentials as provided. Oauth2 for Microsoft accounts seem not to be stable at all. I have worked over 2 days to get the three accounts in. (I have years and years of experience in IT.

Are you sure you have that account set to use the correct SMTP server config in Thunderbird, and it's not re-using an existing config (which has the wrong username)?
I'm totally sure. The entire process of getting Oauth2 account for Outlook is broken. I have 2 accounts for gmail with Oauth2 and it worked fine. I removed the account several times, re-booted Thunderbird after the remove, then tried again. Same problem. I went and removed the Oauth2 from another account in outlook, removed it from Thunderbird and then added it to TB with no problems.
My guess is that some of the commands is using stale data or indexed to the wrong account. Trying different setting seems to flip already filled in fields to new value, even though I did not change that field. I know that some of based on rules like using ssl or TTl changes the alailable secuity choices.

But did you also remove the SMTP server entries for those accounts? At the left bottom of the account settings, "Outgoing Server".

Rick, Are you still seeing this issue?
