Follow up from my two cent input yesterday. Best to disregard the app password idea I tabled yesterday. I did some email administration yesterday and it looks like the industry is doing away with app passwords for reasons that are probably obvious to everyone on this email forum. I discovered yesterday that Google is discontinuing app passwords in gmail on May 30, 2022. I suspect Microsoft already has.

OK. Got the latest Thunderbird working on my old settings and data. To select the "default" profile, you have to
(1) thunderbird --ProfileManager
or
(2) Help -> More Troubleshooting Information -> Application Basics -> Profiles -> "about:profiles"
Online docs says to click "Open Directory". But, it pops up Audacious music player. Crazy.

I'm using Thunderbird 68.12esr. I just downloaded Thunderbird-91.8.1 (latest), and found that it doesn't import settings from the old one. WTF! It'll take a week to regenerate all the filter rules and account settings. OS needs upgrading too. :-( Thanks Seneca.

UofT made some changes recently with authentication, disabling what they’re calling “legacy authentication”. These days, it’s OAUTH2 or you’re stuck with webmail. First, you need to ensure that you’re using Thunderbird 77.0b1 at the minimum. Then, you can follow the instructions in the email they sent about this in March:

To those with @alumni.utoronto.ca email account,
I have an old UofT account, and I'm trying to set it up in Thunderbird.
(1) Getting Email:
I can download via IMAP. But can't via POP3. Is it same experience for other people?
(2) Sending Email:
I can't send email via their SMTP server. Thunderbird asks for password which errors out.
