Why has my ID and password been saved/entered when I log into my e-mail server rather than having me enter both as in the past?
In the past, I entered my ID and password when logging into my UW-Madison web site account. I had not used the web site for about one week and when I brought up the page for my UW e-mail account my ID and password automatically were inserted even though I had not knowingly indicated that these should be saved and entered when I log in.

When you start up thunderbird, it usually checks for email in your mail accounts or when you select 'Get Messages'.
If you have selected the 'Use Password Manager to Remember this password' option then it would save the password and use it each time when connecting to server. See image.
If you do not want this, then you can remove them. Tools > Options > Security > Passwords click on 'Saved Passwords' click on 'show passwords' select both mailbox and smtp for the mail account click on 'REmove' Click on 'Close' click on OK see second image.
