Public bug reported: Hi, I’ve tried to add an account from an Office account. The default suggestion from Thunderbird is to use Owl, a paid add-on, which is probably the best solution for non-technical users. I however am a technical user and don’t mind just setting what I’m being asked to do here: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/admin-services/ict/self-service/connect-communicate/email/use/thunderbird/ After all the setting done, I just click on the button “Done”.
What I expected: Thunderbird closing the setting window and adding the account. What I got: Thunderbird not closing the setting window, but greying all its buttons but “Cancel”. After waiting some time, still the same. I eventually clicked on “Cancel”. The account was not added, but the new SMTP was added. It seems that the addition the new account stopped in the middle of the process, and that Thunderbird did not catch the error or whatever happened. Regards, Martin.
