I got a email from the University of Colorado saying I would not be able to access my CU account after July 1st, 2020 using Thunderbird. I would have to go to Outlook on the web to access my CU email account. I use Thunderbird for my Gmail and CU account as of now. Is there a way of changing the settings in my CU account so I can continue to use Thunderbird to access my CU account instead of going to Outlook on the web? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Don

Is your CU account accessed through gmail? It might be as simple as changing the authentication method to OAuth2 if it was previously 'normal password'.
