Having trouble installing Thunderbird on new machine

We just got a new computer because the previous computer died. I downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the new machine, which has Windows 11. I entered my name, email *@nc.rr.com and password. It had IMAP configuration on the screen and when I clicked 'Done', it gave me the error "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." When I tried changing it to POP and clicked "Done", I got the same error.

There is a 'configure manually' link, but I do not know how to do that. Please let me know what I should do.

Thanks,

Use mail.twc.com on 993 for IMAP, SSL/TLS, normal password, email address; mail.twc.com on 587 for outgoing smtp, STARTTLS, normal password, email address. If the setup wizard gives something else, click manual config. and enter the above settings.
