Error Message "Thunderbird FAILED to find the settings for your email account"

Thunderbird Installation and updates

I have my email already pointing to Thunderbird for the past 10 years. It grabbed all of my emails and folders without issues all that time despite changing domain hosting companies 3 times over the past. BUT now Thunderbird can NOT find my existing email since I switched domain servers from Hostgator to Hostinger. I follow the steps thunderbird says to do (which should be simple because it is the email and password) But "this time" I get the error message "Thunderbird FAILED to find the settings for your email account"
