If one never put in a password in the first place but left it blank in my original Pop3 acount, and the same gfor my Imap acount. How can I now provide Thunderbird today with a user name and a Password that does not exist?

I think that I have been using Thunderbird as an email client for many many years from the early 2000's. And due to my ignorance I never provided a password for the servers in my Pop 3 I left the box blank , and the same on my Imap account. I note that it always said that the password was insecure,which is not surprising as there was no password. Now this year I updated my Ubuntu LTS to the latest LTS 2404. And something went wrong as I lost the Dual Boot facility and Windows 10. Which I had had for many years. And as of about March this year I no longer have thunderbird send to my computer any copy of emails that I send and that are sent to me. I have no doubt that it is my fault. . I have purchased a Laptop from Holland with only Ubuntu on it and that as of July this year also does not send to it this new Laptop any copies of emails that I send or that are sent to me. I was with NTLworld from the early 2000's and am now with Virginmedia.com. And they have recently merged with O2, and I have a new sign in Password and Identity . And I am unable to find the old password that I used to sign in to Virginmedia. I understand that due to cost cutting they might in future do away with providing emails for their clients in the first instance. I would really like to be able to restore Thunderbird if possible.But at 81 yrs old my comprehension is no longer what it was Regards Cliff Edwards. my Ntlworld.com email is cm.edwards1@ntlwold.com.
