new password for email has been accepted by the server host but not being recognized by Thunderbird.

IE: I can sign in to sprctrum.net but cannot add xxx@tampabay.rr.com email address to Thunderbird. I have gone to settings/passwords and first simply changed the existing password to a new one (the same as spectrum.net). Didn't work, then I deleted the whole account in passwords and tried to add it back in but still got this same message.

Authentication error. Show less

Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.

when I try to run Thunderbird it opens with my folders but the comes up with the message "Login to server imap.gmail.com with username scoteng1961@gmail.com failed." I exported my details then used the thunderbird uninstall program. then reinstalled it. but problem persists. What password is it asking for and how can I get a reminder of it or a chance to change it?

I copied both local Thunderbird file and roaming Thunderbird file, removed everything and reloaded Thunderbird Eclipse. I still cannot access the account on Yahoo mail.

I open my email which is Thunderbird but when I try to sign in to Google they say "The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That's all we know."

Ich kann keine Nachrichten mehr erhalten und und kann auch nichts mehr absenden. Es wird immer wieder ein Passwort bzw. neues Passwort verlangt, das war all die Jahre nicht. Auch ein Passwort wird nicht angenommen. Hab schon alles ausprobiert.

one of our email addresses was hacked so we changed the password on that one email account but now we have a pop up window every time we open thunderbird asking to enter the password for two of our addresses. The system won't accept the original password nor the new one. It keeps saying it failed so I can't get into my account passwords screen to see what is going on. We are getting our emails. just that darn window keeps popping up every time. we can send emails too.

I recently lost Internet and waiting for new provider 12/6. I get msg " pls enter your Primary Password on Thunderbird. The one I've had for years fails and new choice through the Mozilla help reset area fails too.....is reset dependent on broadband/Internet? I have inet on phone but CANNOT transfer usage to desktop!!! ? help?

Hi,

the password manager in Firefox on iOS has become practically useless (for me) with somewhat recent releases. Privately and for work I have different passwords on different sites within the same domain (site1.example.com, site2.example.com, etc.). While Firefox saves passwords for these correctly, and is able to recall them correctly in the desktop version, the iOS version simply presents *all* stored credentials for 'example.com' with no way to tell them apart.

Please restore the earlier behaviour here. If there are passwords for the subdomain/hostname I'm trying to access, then only present those. Fall back to the second-level domain only if no passwords are stored for the current hostname.

Thank you! Wbr, very very long time Mosaic/Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox user

I'm lost about how to get back into the program. I already had Thunderbird and tried to re-install it. After that it asked for my name and e-mail address & password. I forgot the password.

All of a sudden my account will not open automatically?...asks me for my password?...I have no idea what that is...if you answer via email I cannot open it to see your answer..
