Hello,

I'm ignorant as to how packages get updated. It appears that there is a newer version of TB 1:102.7.1-1 available from Mozilla than the one offered via the Debian package management system. Will this update at some point?

we will update the package once the underlying issue is fixed.

Mozilla is fist providing new version by a candidates/ tree and that is synced to releases/. If you compare the signatures for both files you will see they are equal, means both releases are equal.

https://download-origin.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/thunderbird/releases/102.7.1/source/thunderbird-102.7.1.source.tar.xz.asc
https://download-origin.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/thunderbird/candidates/102.7.1-candidates/build2/source/thunderbird-102.7.1.source.tar.xz.asc

The current (new build) version of 102.7.1 might have fixed the OAuth issue on outlook.com, it's not confirmed by Mozilla.

(It does seem odd that Mozilla's fix of the Oauth didn't generate a new version number as opposed to fixing a previously broken version.)

Well, you can try out the Mozilla binary package to see if this version has a fixed behavior.

https://download-origin.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/thunderbird/releases/102.7.1/linux-x86_64/

Just download the language you want to use, extract the binary and start it, it will pick up your configuration automatically.

I don't use and ever want to use a email setup on outlook.com, so I can't test anything.

As written previously in this issue tracking, it's always possible to downgrade Thunderbird to the previous version.
