I have solved this problem. When setting the imcoming and outgoing mail servers, there is a section on checking password type. With bellsouth.net emails, you don't do that. For IMAP, the settings are: receiving: imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 993, TLS on a dedicated port, and authentication type is password sending: smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port 465, TLS on a dedicatet port, server requires authentication, and password type is plain

OAuth2 authorization was not a problem with earlier versions of Evolution as they did not require that authorization for bellsouth.net accounts. Current version of Thunderbird running under Ubuntu 22.04 does not require it (nor does MS Outlook 365). Thunderbird server settngs, for example are imap.mail.yahoo.com SSL/TLS, normal password authentication. Yahoo handles bellsouth.net emails. The problem is that AT&T, which manages bellsouth.net emai does not know how to give OAuth2 authentication to bellsouth.net email (I have been in touch with AT&T HQ)
So, how do I keep Evolution from forcing OAuth2 authentication when other email clients don't do that?
