BTW Frank I fell off the wagon and got a new Windows 11 LT
toy. Just couldn't stay away. Pray for me...

Thanks Father Frank (of the Usenet Universal Android Church) for
your needed blessings. This is my first post on the new W11 toy. I
pray that it works...

Yes, it worked! Well, insofar Thunderbird can 'work'! :-)

I still had my old favorite TB version 45 tucked away in Google Drive.
Somehow I just never got around to erasing it. Kind of like a reformed
off the sauce (Windows) alcoholic keeping an old bottle around just in
case...

If you indeed use that procedure, that would negate Jörg's
comment that after a 'Hard reset' the device would not be
usable for *another* user (than the previous owner/user).

But that's Android 16. My current phone is stuck on 13 (after 10, 11
 and 12), so I'll see when (if?) I ever get there.

You're in the modern world. My Galaxy S10+ is at Android 12. It was last
updated 6-1-24. But it says "you're all set" with a neat check mark in a
green circle continuing: "Your phone has been updated to the latest
software version" so I guess I that's supposed to put me at ease...
Time to remove my bank apps yet??
