Make sure the password you're providing is the same one that you're using to access webmail, when Thunderbird prompts you for the password. If the password is input correctly, Thunderbird should not throw a failure message, unless your account settings are incorrect.

Also, you never responded to the reply you got here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1411604
