Description
Checklist
- I have used the search function to see if someone else has already submitted the same bug report.
- I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.
App
Thunderbird for Android
App version
12.1
Where did you get the app from?
F-Droid
Android version
Android 16 (GrapheneOS)
Device model
Pixel 9
Steps to reproduce
Add an outlook.com email address and log in using OAuth.
Expected behavior
Logs in.
Actual behavior
OAuth webpage shows "Something went wrong". I thought it might be a temporary malfunction of Microsoft's service, but it has been like this for several months. I think the OAuth URL may have been outdated.
