Research direction
Start by reproducing Outlook synchronization with two-factor authentication and an application password in the reported Mail 3.7.8, PHP 8.2, Debian 12, Apache, and MariaDB environment. Trace the IMAP login and synchronization entry points; done means valid Outlook credentials synchronize successfully and incorrect credentials produce the expected behavior.
