Seeing the samething.
Not sure if has something to with this, where basic authentication is no longer used.

Видя заметку. Не уверен, есть ли что-то с этим, где базовая аутентификация больше не используется. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/modern-authentication-methods-now-needed-to-continue-syncing-outlook-email-in-non-microsoft-email-apps-c5d65390-9676-4763-b41f-d7986499a90d

So what to do now? ))

Us as users can't do much, but hope Nextcloud mail app will conform to use this new method of authentication.

[ChristophWurst]

Do you mean Exchange? This app support OAuth for Microsoft. Use that instead of (app) passwords

[jaycedk]

Well.. In my case its a free hotmail account.

If I switch to Manuel I don't OAuth in the selection.

It might be me doing something very wrong 🤣😂

[ChristophWurst]

Please follow https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/groupware/mail.html#xoauth2-authentication-with-microsoft-azure-ad, then try again

[jaycedk]

Well how do I get to that.
Its a hotmail account ( free account ) without access to a Azure AD.
I can't make these changes to my account.

[ChristophWurst]

You're right. I don't know how these accounts can be connected otherwise. According to https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/are-app-passwords-being-discontinued/0030efe5-87fa-48d5-b14c-16f355ebb5fa the change came September 16th.

Yes I linked the changes above

Hi, I didn't notice this change either and ran into a non-working personal hotmail account in my nextcloud mail app. I've been tinkering around a while until I found this page. The tutorial posted by ChristophWurst worked perfectly for me. Thank you. Could it be mentioned either in the mail app or the groupware page in the settings? @jaycedk you may want to check out portal.azure.com I could sign up for a free pay as you go account, which seems like all you need to follow the tutorial. But I'm not sure because I also linked my hotmail account to microsoft entra while tinkering.

That's strange because registration worked for K-9 yesterday with the same settings. I was in plain password auth and I was also blocked. Now, my settings in K-9 are:

There is "just" a setting for authentication between plain, encrypted password, client cert and OAuth2., BUt I had nothing to change in my Outlook.com account to make it work. Maybe the checkbox "Send client information" is also needed.

For the record, my setting in NC:
