   SeaMonkey *does* support OAuth2 authentication. In fact, and as i've said, my   
   MS365 account is working at home with POP/SMTP servers.   
      
   In my workplace, under domain restrictions/policies, it doesn't work, but   
   ThunderBird/Outlook can add Exchange accounts. I really don't know if   
   Seamonkey support Exchange protocol. It doesn't offer that option in New   
   account wizard.   
      
   And i don't know if it's a common issue for some other people.   
      
   Regards.
