Thank you.
adding recent: at the head of my username seemed to have done the trick.
Considering the Telus has been at this for a while, they should have added this info to their guides. I guess they were in a hurry to lay off their email team.
Thanks again.

What bothered me is that the only suggestion to migrate your account was an IMAP one. I spent hours trying to copy emails on Thunderbird between the two account types (from my POP3 to my new IMAP) and in the process ended up deleting a bunch. There was no information on how to keep a POP account at all which is what I prefer. I'm not moving between devices -- I view and respond to my emails on my laptop. I managed to get it to work thanks to google etc. but it took awhile. I feel bad for those who are not google-proficient and esp for those who are like people I know who are not tech savvy at all and had a POP account and ended up with IMAP and don't know the difference.
Not very well planned at all. I hope they send out a survey about "How did the email migration go for you?" and I'll be letting them know!
