    dealt with this for a week and finally figured out why i was getting error messages on my password being incorrect. With Sierra you are able to have a double password log in. if you opt for that feature your password on thunderbird will no longer work. that is because it is looking now for another one. to fix it simply go into mac sierra and opt for the single password protection. this entry has just saved you a week of rooting around trying to find a solution. that's what it took me.

    Thanks for the reply. I have added that to the original Thunderbird post where it will be seen. (Solved questions are even visible to external search engines).

    If you wish to get credit for your answer please post in that thread and mark your own post as the solution. I will move this to the lost posts section

    Sorry I can not move your post to the correct place. (We should be using improved software soon that will allow posts and threads to be easily moved)
