That blog hasn't been updated for over a year, so some of the instructions are no longer accurate. For starters, do not disable 2-step verification and do not enable less secure apps as indicated on that blog. If you had done so, revert those changes because the current version of Thunderbird supports Google's OAuth2 authentication protocol.

Do you have access to the old account and are the messages in the archive still on the old account?
