It appears that wildblue no longer exists, having been completely
absorbed by Viasat. I have received some email via that service for
about fourteen years and now I am unable to create a Thunderbird
account in Fedora-31, the set-up fails to accept the password I have
in my notes; I guess it could be wrong, not certain ...
However Thunderbird in this same computer when booted in Fedora-29
continues to run the Wildblue account and receives e-mail, most of it
spam ,but some that I would prefer to leave with that address.
The question is, is there a file in the .thunderbird configuration on
the Fedora-29 system that accepts the Wilblue email that I could move
into the latest Thunderbird in Fedora-31?
Is sounds like you had automatic login for this site, with the password
stored in a central password repository in TB. It also sounds like you
have no other record of the password. You should be able to pull the
password out of the F29 version configuration, and put it in the F31
password configuration. I'm not familiar with TB, so I don't know how,
but I can do that on my mail client, so it should be possible for TB.
