Microsoft typically requires an App Password (or third-party access setup) for IMAP login with desktop tools when basic password sign-in is blocked. Enable 2-step verification on your Microsoft account, create an App Password, then enter your Hotmail / Outlook.com email and that App Password in the importer — Softaken does not store personal account credentials. See our guide: How to Access Hotmail Account with Third Party Apps.
