Frontier Communications says Mozilla Thunderbird uses a lower security sign-in. They want me to use an email client that supports OAuth. What is OAuth? Can I use it with Thunderbird? If yes, how do I configure TBird to support OAuth? At present I use TBird with POP3 protocol, and it has been entirely satisfactory. Thanks, y'all.

TB currently supports OAuth2 authentication only for gmail accounts, but according to Frontier, you can still use TB if you create an app password and enter it in TB.

AT&T is switching to OAuth. When will TB support this?

Hasn't AT&T switched to Yahoo for their email service? You can read about the progress in implementing OAuth for Yahoo accounts here:
