Server at mailin.telia.com will not accept my new passwords for two of my accounts, and does not ask for password, when trying to gett mail via Thunderbird. Webmail and Mail in iOS on iPad works problemfree. Is there no place in Settings for Thunderbird where I can put in password? Haven't found any. So far T has always asked for PW when new account. Never had a problem before.

Thunderbird 115.2.1 for MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 on iMac (mid 2011)

No, I did not solve my problem. I had to delete the accounts and start all over to be able to have my password registered. How come there is no place to insert password under Preferences for an account?

Settings > Privacy > Passwords > Saved Passwords - unfortunately does not have an "insert" capability.

It's a good idea.
