mail protocols
At work, they made a big deal when we switched mail systems "away from the antiquated POP3 and IMAP." What is the new protocol and does Thunderbird support it?

If the authentication on the gmail account is 'normal password', you have to enable access by 'less-secure apps' in the Google account's security settings, and might be warned of 'risks'. Google may disable acess without prior notice, but if the authentication is OAuth2, access by 'less-secure apps' can be turned off. Similarly with AOL, OAuth2 authentication is recommended.

TB supports POP, IMAP and SMTP natively, and OWA (Exchange) via add-ons. If the new protocol isn't one of those, it looks like you're out of luck.
Thank you. The consultants were geeking out about security while migrating all of our accounts to MS Outlook 365. So I'll guess OWA is the magic format.
I have had a Google security scan tell me my Thunderbird connection to GMail is a security risk. My AOL account works. Is Thunderbird really that insecure? Is there a plug-in that will help?
