Change the authentication method to OAuth2 for the incoming and outgoing servers in Tools/Account Settings, remove the passwords from Saved Passwords in Options/Privacy & Security, allow cookies in Privacy & Security, restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth browser window when prompted.

if you want more security , if you dont want to allow all/any type of cookies, and want to allow only specific/needed cookies , then find OAuth2 sections/paragraphs in below linked webpage: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63255601/3553808 (please upvote my Q+A both, inside the linked page, if its useful/helpful).
