The normalization gives
$$
\widehat{e_n}(m)=\frac1{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}e^{i(n-m)t}\,dt=\delta_{nm}.
$$
Thus $\alpha_ne_n$ has exactly the coefficients prescribed for $Te_n$. Uniqueness yields
$$
\boxed{Te_n=\alpha_ne_n\quad(n\in\mathbb Z).}
$$
These are <eigenvectors>, including the zero-<eigenvalue> cases.
