I successfully updated my password on my email provider website. I can access my email on my cell phone via a Gmail client but I can't access my email on Thunderbird. I actually started having problems in July but I didn't have time to try to fix the problem at that time. As per some other instructions (see below), I deleted the entries for my password, expecting to get prompted to re-add it after restarting Thunderbird. This doesn't happen yet. I do see a message saying that the 'Connection to server shawmail.vc.shawcable.net was reset'. Thanks, Byron ------------------------------------------------------- To change an email password in Thunderbird, go to the menu icon (☰), then Settings (or Preferences), navigate to Privacy & Security > Passwords > Saved Passwords. Delete the old entry for your email account, close and restart Thunderbird, and the program will prompt for the new password when you next try to send or receive email.
