Thunderbird passwords not accepted today

I'm having terrible problems with Thunderbird on my PC today and wonder if anyone can help ???

I looked at some spam killer software yesterday and installed Mailwasher and later Annihilator to test them. Being unsatisfied, I uninstalled both.

But when I logged onto Thunderbird this morning, the basic accounts appeared but no past emails anywhere. So I tried to receive new email and send email and all my server settings are correct but Thunderbird will NOT accept any of my historic passwords. Tried everything many, many times but it keeps rejecting my normal historic passwords there.

I can send email from my Thunderbird PC but not receive emails or see my history there. My Local Folders work properly.

Wonder if Mailwasher or Spamihilator changed my Thunderbird passwords, even though I uninstalled both. No idea what they might be.

My Android email still works perfectly.

Can you help -- help -- or have any ideas ???

got an antivirus? Try uninstalling it.
