Microsoft apparently dropped support for plain password auth. You need to use the OAUTH option (3rd option when creating an EAS account).
That is related to a missing cookie implementation/support in TbSync. I somehow need to give all connections an independent cookie stores, otherwise they all try to use the same and that does not work. I am looking into this.
You had right , all done and sync!! At the beginning a had a message '‘error’'again but no matter I just click to continue and fixed.
I am having the same problem - my password is not being accepted but I can read/send email via IMAP. I think I have changed server authentication to OAUTH2 (5 th option) but it is still prompting me for the password. The third option is Kerberos
