Description: Unable to send an email via Mail Merge, it would be ideal if I could have an option to delegate the email transmission aspects to my Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) which in this case is Thunderbird. Steps to Reproduce: 0. Write up a mail merge "file" with an associated contact database. 1. Click on "Send Mail Messages" 2. Select "To: Email Address" 3. If desired, enter a subject line. 4. Select "Send as: Plain Text" 5. Click on "Send Documents" Actual Results: A redacted error log is included below. <class 'smtplib.SMTPSenderRefused'>: (550, b'5.7.1 Authentication is required to use this service', 'EMAIL'), traceback follows File "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\mailmerge.py", line 262, in sendMailMessage self.server.sendmail(sendermail, truerecipients, msg.as_string()) File "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\python-core-3.8.16\lib\smtplib.py", line 885, in sendmail raise SMTPSenderRefused(code, resp, from_addr) Expected Results: Email is sent Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Additional Info: Version: 7.5.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 36ccfdc35048b057fd9854c757a8b67ec53977b6 CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-NZ (en_NZ); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Tools -> Options -> Libre Office Writer -> Mail Merge Email -> Test Settings (screenshot will be attached.)

Does you email provider use OAuth ? Wondering if this is the same issue as bug 144379 (similar error message in duplicate bug 153863)
I don't think so as my account's SMTP settings for thunderbird are: - Port 465 (the deafult) - SSl/TLS - Normal password. To be clear, if possible I would love for the option for Mail Merge to degliate the MTA / SMTP aspects to my default email client.
