Cannot get Thunderbird working on new PC
I have a new PC. I'm trying to get Thunderbird working on my new PC. I have the old and the new running next to each other and the settings on both Thunderbird set ups is the same. However on the new PC all I get is "unable to log in at server probably wrong configuration or password. Given that the password is correct, what possibly could I be doing wrong"

If any of the accounts use 'app' passwords (such as required by Gmail), the app password will not work on new PC, as app passwords are designed to work on only the original PC. If that is your situation, you need to get new app passwords for new PC.
If that is not the case, it may just be that there was an error in copying from old to new. Steps for that are below: - exit thunderbird on both PCs - copy c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird to external media - paste the thunderbird folder to c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming on new pc. This will prompt to overwrite the profile there. Allow it.
Thanks for replying, by app passwords I assume you mean generated ones? No, mine are all personally chosen. I'll have a try at what you suggested, driving me mad Ive been at this on and off all day whilst also messaging with the host who is unsure like me!
