I have several email accounts in Thunderbird and was able to access all of them without issue until recently. Now it tells me I am using the wrong password in each case, but I know this is not accurate. I've noticed changes in how Microsoft validates its email account subscribers, but unsure just what they did. Evidently, it has affected my ability to log in through Thunderbird, and the accounts set up need changing. But I have no idea how to do it properly. Again, it did work fine before, so what must I do to correct this? Honestly, it was a pain to set them all up before, and I've had to do it from scratch a few times. I am reluctant to even bother, and I am tempted the just toss it in and access my emails online. Or maybe find another email client that streamlines connections. Does anyone have a solution? RJ PS My Yahoo Accounts work fine, and I removed my Gmail. preferring online for those.
