New install of Thunderbird with oauth2

more options

Will this work: 1. uninstall TB 2. Install TB and let it automatically set up my five (5) Hotmail email addresses using oauth2 3. Import my TB profile OR copy my profile folder (with all emails & address books) into new installation and still have oauth2 in server settings? OR will it revert back to old non oauth2 server settings?

Thanks in advance & God Bless

It revert back to old non oauth2 server settings as soon as you import

Why not just go int the account settings and make the change?

I there a file(s) in the zup profile or profile folder that I can delete that would stop the changing of th oauth? I tried changing one of my email address's settings and I sent a test email but it didn't work and I have yet to find simple clear directions on how to change the settings. Do I need to change all of the email addresses settings for it to work?

Thank you for your help.
