I'm trying to add my Hotmail (Outlook) e-mail to Apple Mail in Mac OS Sequoia - Modern Auth / OAuth 2

Microsoft has stopped supporting Basic Authentication (password) for their mail servers. I'm trying to add my Hotmail (Outlook) e-mail to Apple Mail in Mac OS Sequoia, but there's no "Outlook.com" option therefore I'm forced to use "Other E-mail Account..." (This is a personal e-mail account not setup on Exchange - and yes I've enabled POP/IMAP access to my Hotmail account through web-based settings.)



The problem is that Modern Auth / OAuth2 is not an option when configuring the servers manually. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/pop-imap-and-smtp-settings-for-outlook-com-d088b986-291d-42b8-9564-9c414e2aa040


Options are:



Are there any solutions at this point? I love using Apple Mail and I really don't want to have to switch to a different mail client or go web-based. Any assistance is appreciated.

My apologies. This did in fact work. I had already spent 2 hours trying to configure my hotmail account into the mail account. I was trying to manually configure the exchange servers, forgetting that exchange runs on different servers and ports, hence it wasn't working for me. After stepping away for a day, I tried it again and got it to automatically setup and it worked. Thank you for your response! Much appreciated. This has resolved my problem.
