how do i setup 2FA for my thunderbird email account with the Microsoft authenticator app and how do i know my encryption setup is done correctly. I did this for my account but not sure if it was done correctly just want to confirm. Also recovery and backup codes can I have those too?

It all depends on what your email provider offers for 2FA. Since you didn't mention who your email provider is, I'm not going to guess.

You'd need to be more specific what you mean exactly with "encryption setup".
