Can't add three existing email accounts to thunderbird. It tells me that they are not configured correctly. These accounts were working in thunderbird until about a year ago. When I changed my computer, only two of my five accounts would add. I have been doing without them but now I need them back. Please help me see why I can't add these three accounts. I am running Thunderbird 115.5.1 (64-bit) The accounts that I am having trouble with are .sbcglobal.net accounts. The ones that work are a .Yahoo.com account and a .gmail.com account.

The main issue with sbcglobal (AT&T) accounts is that you have to create a secure mail key and enter it in TB when asked for a password.
