Figured it out. after setting it up on a different machine successfully, realized it was the installation, and the remove and reinstall had not completely removed everything removed Thunderbird again, then sudo root found all Thunderbird files and renamed, moved, or removed them then reinstalled Thunderbird, and it installed, configured, and synchronized flawlessly. Yay!

Ah ha. Installed on another system same software levels and standard path sets up IMAP and authentication successfully! So the problem is the first system. Well besides the bug in Thunderbird that doesn't time out, shows a yellow error dialog with no references, and the support pages that don't show any exception paths for support. I can find a solution from here. Will update with solution when I get it working on primary system. yay
