The thunderbird server seems unresponsive and doesn’t recognise my password - what can I do? I can get my emails on my iPhone, luckily, but feel safer from scamming when opening them on my laptop. Please advise - thanks. Ps I have recently donated to Thunderbird!

Do you use any antivirus software besides Windows Defender?

Search for an update for ESET. Otherwise disable ESET or better uninstall it temporarily.
