[GTALUG] U of T alumni mail + Thunderbird

[William Park]

I'm using Thunderbird 68.12esr.  I just downloaded Thunderbird-91.8.1 
(latest), and found that it doesn't import settings from the old one. 
WTF!  It'll take a week to regenerate all the filter rules and account 
settings.  OS needs upgrading too. :-(
Thanks Seneca.

First, you need to ensure that you’re using Thunderbird 77.0b1 at the minimum.  Then, you can follow the instructions in the email they sent about this in March: https://its.utoronto.ca/improving-information-security-by-disabling-legacy-authentication/
