Thunderbird has suddenly started asking me to enter my network password. I have checked my settings and it already has it stored so why is it now asking me to re-enter it.

I have tried simply closing the message but it won't download my mail until I have entered the password.

First verify your password using webmail.

If that works delete the password Thunderbird has remembered.
