I changed my email password on the providers web site, my phone, tablet both asked for the new password but Thunderbird has not, why can I still send and receive email ?

And don't see a place to change the server password either, I thought it would just ask.

What is your email domain and who is your mail provider?

I use Fastmail.com imap.fastmail.com

Even after a few days now Thunderbird is still working. The first time I used the Fastmail app on my phone and tablet it said I was logged out and had to log in with my new password.

I should say that I changed the email password in Firefox at the Fastmail.com web site.

Could Firefox pass the password on to Thunderbird. I did look at the password vault in Firefox, the entry for Fastmail still had the old password.

Thanks for your help.
