After many years for whatever reason I decided to change my log in password using Thunderbird with Ionos.com and my S23 Samsung and my Windows 10. This was Saturday December 25, 2025. On same day my S23 and my email account using Ionos.com stopped receiving email sent to my Thunderbird email account. I called Samsung they were of no help except to change my password and tell me to log in again in an hour. This was done while my account was maybe still being looked at by Samsung helper. Today is Sunday what worries me a bit is everything in my email account could still be seen by technician who helped me or anyone else. I went for help this morning at Best Buy. Not much help. I tried to log into my Thunderbird and do not see my password and not sure if I should in using my Firefox log in. I am not receiving any emails to my email account on my windows 10 or S23. Please help be with what to do. And something else. How will I get reply if it is an email and I cannot see it??????????? Thanks

re : I decided to change my log in password using Thunderbird

You can only modify/alter a password via the webmail account accessed via browser. I suggest you logon to webmail account and reset/modify your password. Then logout of webmail account and after an hour try to logon to webmail again using new password. If all works ok then you need to update the stored password in Thunderbird.

  • Settings > Privacy & Security
  • Scroll to passwords section
  • click on 'Saved Passwords'
  • click on 'Show Passwords'

There will be two lines, one for incoming and one for outgoing. You need to update the password in both lines.

  • Right click on line and select 'Edit Password'
  • Completely clear all content and then carefully enter the new modified password.
  • When finished click on 'Close'

Exit Thunderbird - wait a few moments and then restart Thunderbird.
