Hi Just started using Thunderbird. Every time I start Thunderbird it ask for passwords. As they are long and secure its tedious. I tried the solution previously shown on your web help (click "Outgoing Server" Click Edit. Under "Security and Authentication" DESELECT "Use name and password") but it doesnt give a "username and password opyion" only a box for Connection security, another for Authentication method, another for User name. Whats the best solution please?

Try this: settings>privacy&security - click savedpasswords and then showpasswords and I think you can then edit and save there.
