A recent email from Microsoft states that older, unsecured email programs will
no long be able to access email from Outlook.com. Apparently MS is not going
to go the app-specific route like Google did. We are just out of luck!
Quoted below:
Update your sign-in technology before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email
access.
The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To
help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of
third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your
Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use
a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft�s modern authentication
methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able
to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September
16th.
What do you need to do?
If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar
app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your
Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and
calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.
Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android
devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account.
Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are
connecting in the most secure way.
How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail
application?
Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to
your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our
help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing
Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact
the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many
cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of
that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods.
