My provider Network Solutions is updating their security. They would prefer that clients use IMAP rather than POP. Thunderbird software won't let me change this; why? If I have to delete my account and create a new one, wha?
I've used Thunderbird for years using a POP setting; Network Solutions would prefer that I use IMAP. I don't know the difference, but they must and prefer that it be IMAP (netsol-imap-oxcs.hostingplatform.com) (PORT: 993. When bringing up the settings in my mail account, it doesn't allow anyone to change that field. What can I do? I want to use Thunderbird; because of this particular setting I haven't been able to, and must instead log on to Network Solutions and go through their email interface. Thank you.

You cannot change a POP account to IMAP, or an IMAP account to POP. Instead, you must create a new account. You can do this alongside the other account. This restriction is not unique to Thunderbird, it is a reflection on the two different protocols.

Network Solutions accounts are not working with Thunderbird
What are the new correct settings for IMAP and POP accounts for NS accounts a swell as AOL email accounts
I do not know, as users usually have that info. I did, however, locate this site that appears to have what you're looking for. https://iowacitytech.com/2021/10/10/netsol-email/ info for AOL appears to be here:
