was stupid enough to delete my existing "App Password" setup to create a new one, only to discover that they don't allow that.

See if you can log in via Yahoo and generate a new OAuth2 app password:

https://login.yahoo.com


If that fails, use web mail to download your messages locally, sign up with, say, North Mail, and sync the messages you downloaded via web mail to the new account.

Then, tell everyone your new email address.


Using IMAP, you can tell Thunderbird which folders to sync so the messages from the server are downloaded locally (and exist on the server). The existing Rogers mail can be synced back to the server if my memory serves correctly.


Best of all worlds - accessible from everywhere, status (read, replied, flagged,...) all exist in a central location so all devices see current data.

Plus, push notifications mean messages appear in the client immediately upon being received on the server.
