Password changed in BT. Tbird does not demand new password

Thunderbird Privacy and security

Have removed password entry in security. Tbird then hangs on 'Connected to ....', but does not offer chance to put in new password. So I can see inbox and emails on BT but not through Thunderbird. Solutions appreciated.

Thanks, Matt, but I have been failing for some time to get to the F5 version of Safe Mode; that button just gives me the unhelpful version without networking.

Do you have a wired connection? wifi drivers usually will not load in safe mode.

Sorry to be rudelyt slow, sfh. I didn't want to mess about with IMAP at the mopment, and as is happened, my laptop (for reasons unknown) suddenly decided to do what we all expected and demand a password. So I no longer have this problem. Thanks to all interested parties
