I have a large number of email accounts configured in Thunderbird, roughly 20 or more.

Occasionally, one of the accounts needs to re-authenticate or re-enter its password. When that happens, Thunderbird opens a password/authentication dialog, but the dialog does not clearly tell me which configured email account triggered it.

With only one or two accounts this might not be a serious issue, but with many accounts it becomes very difficult to know which account needs attention. I may see a login prompt, but I do not know whether it belongs to a reg@r...p.com or work@r...p.com, or jobs@r...p.com, or hello@r...p.com, and so on.

I get it, outgoing SMTP servers can be shared or associated with multiple identities/accounts. In my setup though, each outgoing account is effectively one-to-one, and I still have no practical way to tell which email address the login prompt is for.

Even when an outgoing server is shared by more than one account, it would still help if the prompt showed the related a list of the accounts/identities connected to that outgoing server.

In Thunderbird a password for an email account was deleted from the password list, but then how is a new password applied to that same mail account? I'm only getting error login messages with no apparent field, or opportunity to enter a new password. I'm concerned starting fresh and deleting the email account itself will delete all my saved emails associated with that account.
