The letter is badly written, and it remains less than clear exactly what
they want you to do, and what will or might happen (that you don't want
to happen) if you do it. Basically, it's an ultimatum dressed up as
usual in a lot of fancy PR talk.
You mention the instructions for Thunderbird as saying to delete your
current account and then create a new one. The problem is that this sort
of statement (theirs, not yours) lacks explicitness. For a start, I'm
not even sure if you can delete an account, at the server end. I took
them to mean that you had to remove the account from your email client
configuration and then replace all that, possibly with some new values
and/or options supplied by them. But if this is the sort of thing they
are talking about, they need to say so much more explicitly and with
more precise detail.
Yes, the e-mail they sent could certainly have been worded better and be
much more clearer.
As I stared in a prior post, I did not have to delete any accounts from
SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, or my Android app. I simply replaced the
password for each account. Works perfectly.
