Have tried both auto and manual server settings setup without success. It's a POP3 account. Same settings and passwords work on three other devices. This is a new computer with newly downloaded version of Thunderbird

I got it to work only communicating with server using no connection security and password sent insecure. Why is this when all my other devices use the starttls and ssl/tls method?

The mail apps on the other devices probably don't block servers with lower versions of TLS, like TB 78.
