After changing password with VirginMedia, Thunderbird accepted it once but now refuses access

I have E-mail VirginMail which uses Gmail. Today I changed my E-mail address with VirgionMail. Then Thunderbird requested my E-mail address when opening it and accepted it with downloaded mails successfully. Subsequent attempts to open Thunderbird failed with message"Cannot connect to mail server imapd.virgin.net the connection was refused
