    Microsoft account unusual sign-in activity

    1. I am new to this forum.
    2. I have a email at outlook.com from when outlook was born.
    3. I use Mozilla Thunderbird to access this account. Recently it is no more possible to access my outlook email via Thunderbird. Whenever I try to log, it does not let me log-in.
    4. Every time after this, I get a email from microsoft asfollows :

    Microsoft account
    Verify your account
    We detected something unusual about a recent sign-in for the Microsoft account. For example, you might be signing in from a new location, device, or app.
    To help keep you safe, we've blocked access to your inbox, contacts list, and calendar for that sign-in. Please review your recent activity and we'll help you take corrective action. To regain access, you'll need to confirm that the recent activity was yours.
    Thanks,
    The Microsoft account team

    After this when I log by browser, it displays all log ins and that is all.

    This is repeated perpetually.

    How do I get rid of this ???

    Any help.

    Thank you in advance.

    Use your Browser, not Thunderbird, to open http://outlook.com and start with Can't access your account?

    I would not reply to that email from "Microsoft"
    I would not click any links in that email "From" "Microsoft."
    I would look at the header info in that the email from "Microsoft."
    I expect the student to do their homework and find all the errrors I leeve in.

    I think you did not care to read my problem. You did not notice I have done what you said umpteen times.

    I have no wish either to reply to any mail from Microsoft and I never did.

    I would not click any links in that email "From" "Microsoft."
    This sounds crazy to me.
