Hello, Thunderbird starts with "Authetication Failed" for my main account. After deleting the saved account/Password in Thunderbird it DOES NOT ask to enter a new one. It seems, Thunderbird hast still the Old informations saved, but it does NOT appear under Passwords / User Accounts in Thunderbird. How can I enter a new password in Thunderbird ? Has anybody a REGEDIT clue or any other help ? THANKS

I can't be bothered trying to recreate the hundreds of words I wrote explaining my assumptions. So just remove your antivirus and the problem will probably go away.
