The solution that worked for Fetchmail is not working for Sendmail. I

So, bigger question for you guys...
- How do you send out email? via Postfix/Sendmail? Or, via
Thunderbird?
My Mail is currently sent out via Thunderbird.
After using Emacs/GNUS for many years I have finally had to abandon it
for mail unfortunately because at 81 years my eyes cannot handle the
tiny print on the menu bars. Claws I tried but although it will
automatically bring in GNUS mails I abandoned it for several reasons.
- How do you read your emails? via Fetchmail/Mutt? Or, via
Thunderbird?
Mail currently is read on Thunderbird but I was using
Fetchmail/Sendmail with GNUS
I use getmail (a great step up from fetchmail), msmtp, and mutt. That
combination works with Rogers and even with the University's hopeless
MS Outlook mail management system. Sendmail weighs a ton, and Postfix
isn't small either; msmtp = minimal smtp is enough for my needs.
All my mail is sent via Thunderbird using SMTP2GO. Smtp is an
application beloved of the Spammers. It gets the mail out, no Ifs, Ands
or Buts. And if your output is less than 1K a month, it is completely free.
Fetchmail and Sendmail served me well for many years with GNUS.
The following is anecdotal, but might be of use to someone:
I use version 45 of Thunderbird because the Menu Bars are legible to me.
Gmail is a problem because V45 Thunderbird will not handle
Authorization with Gmail so I had to Kluge it by setting my Gmail
account to enable POP and selecting "delete" mails on the Gmail server.
Thunderbird V45 rejects a standard account setup as it will not handle
the OAuth 2.0 protocol so it's necessary to Kludge and select "Advanced"
setup and select NTML as the Authorization Method which permits the
addition of the Gmail account to the Thunderbird listing.
A filter on whatever account you set Gmail to forward to puts the mail
in the Gmail account on Thunderbird and permits the handling of Gmails
normally.
If there's a better way, I would certainly like to know.
