Since I upgraded to version 140.7.1esr (64-bit) Eclipse, I have been getting intermittent problems with sending emails. My settings for Thunderbird are to not remember passwords between sessions. When I send an email the first time in a session the supply of the password to the prompt is fine and the email is sent. But when I then send another email I get the invalid password prompt. If I use Enter New Password and put in the correct password the sending still fails. Sometimes if I delay and resend the message which has been saved, the process does work.
