(sent from Webmail instead of my usual Moz TBird).
Hello everyone,
DESPERATE for guidance here!  
As of last night, not sure what triggered it, I am no longer allowed to use Rogers SMTP service for my Mozilla Thunderbird, service which has been reliable since connection at this address 16+ years ago!!!
Contacting Rogers, spoke to Manager Mohammed, who says the service was discontinued about 12-18 months ago and that it is no longer part of their stable of offerings and cannot generate an Application password to re-initialize my SMTP.
How can I get this fixed???  I don't want to leave my emails on a provider server where it can be hacked and stolen!
I need my desktop client to automatically forward various emails from paid Service Providers to my wife.   That is not possible for me thru the default Webmail client.
Is there a solution here?
Is a reinstatement of service possible if I go up the ladder?
Please, I need some immediate guidance on where to go with this.
Thank you all in advance.
