unable to add account
with some changes with a default search for passkeys, I am no longer able to use thunderbird mail as is, as after spending three hours today, I was unable to add a 2nd account that has been accessed via gmail for a long time. I am wondering what other email problems other than thunderbird might have similar features,. as thunderbird has been rendered unusable by new code/passord, passkey requirements. I was looking at spark, but their interface is not as helpful. Thoughts! RIP Thunderbird mail, a long time friends, but time to move on, alas

Let me get this. You have trouble adding your account from some unnamed provider to Thunderbird so you are posting here to say goodbye. As you will. Goodbye
I would be seeking support for why it is failing before you move on to another application that will probably have exactly the same issue as it is unlikely to be a Thunderbird issue in the end.
Thunderbird is actively maintained and as far as I am aware can access ALL standards compliant mail server s(and some that are not), but that would require details of what mail provider and what error messages you get along with your use of antivirus products and VPN's
BTW most account setup problems are directly caused by antivirus products that folk purchase and install Another raft are caused by VPNs and the disabling of cookies in Thunderbird for "security" reasons. You notice I do not mention Thunderbird being the problem? That is because I have not seen an instance where Thunderbird could not connect to an IMAP, POP or SMTP server with the correct settings if it is allowed to. Not for many years anyway. It has happened, but not that I can remember a specific instance.
Most recently I generally I find folk trying to make two factor authentication work when they need to use oAUth authentication instead or ATT customers that do not understand the mail system their provider offers and is apparently unable to adequately describe via either their documentation or support staff.
I bought a new computer and have also been unable to add a 2nd account that has been accessed via Thunderbird on my other computers for many years. I keep getting an Authentication error that says unable to login at server, even though the configuration user name and password are all the same as the account on my older computer that works. Please help! Thanks!

In some versions of Thunderbird, the "experimental" account hub is the default way to set up new accounts, but it is buggy.
Check Thunderbird settings > General > Account hub to see if it is turned on. If it is, turn it off and try again to add your account.
Hi there,
I'll mark the latest carcher107's answer as a solution, but please feel free to continue the discussion here in case you want to look into the bug or something.
