Beta SMTP Password Error

I updated my comcast password recently. Now when I try to send an email I get error about password - dialog comes up one option being reset password. When I click this I expect a dialog to open allowing me to enter the correct password but nothing happens.

I went to saved password dialog and removed the entries there hoping that would force Thunderbird to ask me for password - no joy.

In the Beta version how do I update SMTP password? I do not want to recreate the profile because then I lose lots of stuff - I JUST want to update the SMTP password. None of the pages I find are helping me.

Hello, In the last couple of weeks, messages are not displaying as they did. So for example, I received screenshots of an airline trip I'm doing, but the message contained the following: [A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated] Inbound Another example is receiving an email from a bank. Instead of showing the embedded link, it displayed as html. So, I can't read what was sent. Or it's hard to pick out the link.

I've gone to privacy and controls, but I can't find where I need to change this. Please help.

I had to change my gmail pwd due to a possible security breach as reported to me by Experian.

After the change, Tbird flashed this error message upon the next startup (please see image)

After about 20 minutes of poking about, I found where I could change the password for my google account. I changed it to the new password. There is zero chance I got it wrong because I copy/pasted it from my pwd mgr. I still get this error message making T'bird useless to me.

I'm definitely let down that such as simple op as pwd change was so difficult to find and now seems impossible to do. I haven't a CLUE what the STAT command is or how to address this condition.

Any suggestions are greatly welcomed.

I installed Thunderbird and downloaded the mail (IMAP server) to the mailbox, but at the same time the program deleted all the mail from the server!!! I can't find anywhere in Thunderbird how to turn it off so that the program doesn't delete messages from the server. Someone suggested that you should turn off "the selected folder will be available in offline mode" in the Synchronization tab. I did it, but it didn't help and I turned it on again. Now I don't have my messages anywhere, neither on my computer nor on the server. Rescue news from ten years - where are they????

Hi, I detest the new TB feature to automatically deactivate all links in an incoming mail... while this feature might be helpful to some people, I would like to switch it off and do my own due diligence if I click a link or not, but within ms, not until TB allows me to click...I find no way of switching off this newly introduced feature... any idea? thx

I've encountered one message in Thunderbird that has remote content enabled (which I don't recall explicitly enabling). In Settings, under "Allow remote content in messages" (unchecked), the "Exceptions..." list is empty. I've also cleared the cache, switched to offline mode, and went back to that message, but it still shows remote content.
