Thunderbird for Rogers Email?

[chdiamo1]

Hello, does anyone know if Thunderbird can be used to receive and send @rogers.com email? If so, does anyone know how I would setup Thunderbird for my Rogers email? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

@chdiamo1 : You have posted many times in the App Password thread - links below, where this issue has been discussed in detail. The answer is that the latest version of Thunderbird for PC will work without an App Password.  You will be able to simply use the same password that you use to get into Webmail.  When setting up the latest version of Thunderbird, you may need to set up 2FA/MFA requiring a text to a cell phone.

I wasn’t clear enough. When I am asked for the server settings, ports and type of security, what info do I enter?

*Let me add that under Security Settings the Authentication method is OAuth2.

Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for.

@asturias7 : Is that information required for Thunderbird?  It's been about a year but I thought that in Outlook you simply tell it that you're trying to connect to Yahoo and it must fill in all that information on its own.

I haven't had this problem in a while, but I do remember that it automatically detected everything thus no need to fill out all fields... However, it is always handy to have as much info as possible in case the settings aren't detected.
