I can access my Spectrum email just fine from both Outlook and Thunderbird. I am going to be soon switching to Cincinnati Bell Fioptics, and so will lose my Spectrum email account. I prefer an email webui other than Gmail - that is why i am trying to use Outlook or Thunderbird to read my Gmail. I setup my Gmail account in Thunderbird per Gmail instructions. I wouls appreciate help on getting this working. Thank you.

A search on that error suggests 2-step verification is on the account, so an app password must be used in place of the account password.

But that is only necessary if the authentication method on the account in TB is 'normal password'. Use the recommended OAuth2 authentication, and enter the account password in the OAuth window when asked to authenticate the account. Set OAuth2 for the incoming and outgoing servers, accept cookies in Options/Privacy & Security, remove passwords from Saved Passwords in Privacy & Security, then restart TB to prompt the OAuth authentication. Disable a VPN if you have one.
