When opening Tbird 153.0, several servers give authentication errors

Thunderbird Passwords and sign in

Since I updated Thunderbird to 153.0 on Thursday, I've noticed that every time I start Tbird, I get several notifications about authentication errors for the servers to which its trying to fetch mail. The list varies each time, but frequent offenders are Gmail, Comcast, and Yahoo, and occasionally Apple and Microsoft (outlook.office365.com server).

I did not see this issue prior to the update. Sure, once in a great while (< 1x/month), a single server would throw such an error, but now, it's every time I start Tbird.

All the accounts are accessed via IMAP, and those that support or require OAuth2 are so configured.

If I go to the mailbox a little while later, I don't get any errors--this seems to be limited to startup.

I check 15 mailboxes, though many get very little email.

A search from Bugzilla's home page shows three similar reports, none newer that 3.5 years ago. (I can't delve deeper, as my credentials apparently expired and the signup confirmation email has not arrived yet).

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a log of such events (or a way to create one)? ...thanks!
