The Errors when it succesfully login me via OAuth2 via browser or try to click the retry button

Sending of the message failed.
Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) . Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'.

Login to server smtp-mail.outlook.com with username [my email] failed.

Everything seems to be set up correctly, but for some reason I'm only able to receive emails and not send them through Betterbird, and I find this strange because the same email account works fine on Fairemail (Android), I can send and receive emails there.

I also have a gmail account and it works both ways, this is only happening on outlook, very annoying.

Can't delete sub folders

I set up a couple of new accounts to better manage some email and moved the mail from the old account already there into the new account but BB won't let me delete the old folders from the original account. When I try I get this error message.

"Betterbird

The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account *** responded: [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX. *** (0.001 + 0.000 secs)."

I have 5 of these I would like to get rid on in a crowded original folder. Any advice on how to get rid of them?
