I went to my internet service provider and changed my e mail password. However Thunderbird wont accept my changed password. I am NOT referring to a "Master Password". Help.

Go to Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Saved Passwords

Remove the password for the account that you are working with. It might be there twice. Remove both.

Close and restart Thunderbird. The next time it needs a password it will ask for one.

No Menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key to make it appear.

There are NO passwords to be removed........... That section has NO passwords whatsoever.
