You don't need this:

You should always use SSL and TLS to connect to an email providerm by the way. If it doesn't support SSL/TLS, well you should run away faster from it than from the black plague and taxmen. Outlook.com supports SSL for IMAP and TLS for SMTP on the receive port (567). And that brings me to point out: When you use a trustworthy SSL or TLS connection, you don't need password authentication thingamagicks. You use PLAIN auth. Outlook.com (and Gmail, Yahoo!, GMX and others) only support PLAIN auth over SSL or TLS.
I tried using a gmail account; didnt work. I hope someone here could help me.
A Gmail account will require OAUTH2 support in the client by default, ---the reason why you can connect with thunderbird, and using POP3 of all things (yuck!) as you pointed out later in this thread that IMAP support was disabled---. You can enable password authentication in the security section at https://myaccount.google.com/ not before being admonished that doing so will probably rob your youth, hair and fortune. On how go about finding out the right parameters to configure mutt with your Outlook.com account (bear with me, hotmail.com is dead and your address is just an alias to an Outlook.com inbox), configure the account in thunderbird as an IMAP account and the review the configuration generated for the account. SMTP settings are at the end of the account settings list in thunderbird.
