suggestion about password change
I changed my password in my email provider. TB kept saying that it was the wrong password. After a few unsuccessful tries I rebooted tb. It worked. Then, whenever I opened tb it asked for password. I then tried checking 'password manager' and it remembered the password. Fine. Could have been easier. 1. Notice that tb requires reboot to accept password change. 2. Explanation that password manager is "remember password so you don't need to enter every time".
A little more nitpicking: For as long as I have used tb I cannot print a selection of an email. It wants to print the whole thing, along with headers. I have to select, copy, paste to notepad, then print. Could be easier.

1. Not for me. But I mostly use oAuth authentication and Thunderbird never stores the actual password at all for that type of Authentication. What is stored is a token issued by the provider that remains valid until the provider revokes it. Validity of the token is not automatically lost on a password change with the provider although they often do revoke on the start of the next session. That however is nothing to do with Thunderbird or how it stores tokens. 2. Read the first paragraph of the passwords article I wrote more than 10 years go, make what changes you think are necessary for it to be more obvious that Thunderbird stores your passwords. I am done trying. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-change-tb 3.for printing of a selection I use the PrintingTools NG addon. Once installed Ctrl +Shift+P invokes instead of Ctrl+P
