2FA comes into play when you sign into the account itself. When you use a desktop client like Outlook or Thunderbird, it keeps the account signed in all the time. So when you look at your email that way you are not signing in again. So you would not get the 2FA prompt.

Hi, thx for replying. Shouldn’t it prompt for the 2FA the first time it attempts to login via the client? I never got prompted for 2FA. Even if subsequent logins are cached somehow I would expect the initial login to be via 2FA. Thx
No, it shouldn't prompt for 2FA because you're not logging into a website, but you are logging in to an email server. Vastly different things. Now, if you go to webmail, that would be something different.
