Thunderbird 68 cannot access local mail or server
Imagine my surprise when instead of the expected security update, Thunderbird launched a whole new interface, version 68, which cannot find my local email nor log into the server. I get an authentication failure on the server password; and I have no idea why this new version of tbird can't locate my saved messages, though it does recognize my account settings. Any idea what I can do to restore usability? Losing years of stored messages is not what I need right now!

Comcast.Who is your email provider?
On a Mozilla forum I learned where to download the previous version of Thunderbird, uninstalled 68, and reinstalled the older version. But now I am leary of the so-called "security updates" to Thunderbird.
Yeah I have been peeking at the forums until i was called away. It seems that the new update created a new profile and not use the existing one. Let me know if you were successful.
Having reverted to an older, un-updated version, I guess I could say I was successful, in that I have working email again. Eventually I'd like to move to a newer version of Thunderbird (I like the dark interface), but I think I'll wait quite a long while.
