Login to server pop.windstream.net with username ----- failed
In the past month or two I have been dealing with a constantly recurring issue with Thunderbird getting my emails. Login to server pop.windstream.net with username ----- failed, and then it gives me the option to retry, enter new password, or cancel. 99% of the time, when I hit retry, my email downloads just fine. But I have multiple email accounts that I have to go through the same song and dance on every time I try to download my messages. Sometimes one or more of my email addresses will check and download ok... sometimes all of them will... sometimes none of them will. But choosing the retry option usually yields me good results so it doesn't appear that I have something in my settings that is wrong?? And usually if I shut down of Thunderbird and a restart of it, all email addresses will down;load perfectly the first time I try.
I wonder if it doesn't correlate with a Thunderbird update? I keep hoping that the issue will be resolved as quickly as it came through another update or something but it's been long enough to really start driving me crazy now so can you help me? What is going on with the normally smoothe and agreeable Thunderbird on my very same computer using the very same email addresses all of a sudden?

It is still an issue. I got the messages without the error a few times and now its back to giving me the error intermittently. So if anyone has any ideas?? It makes me think that this still may be a glitch issue that was in one of the updates??

Question - should I uninstall Thunderbird and try to reinstall it and see if that would make a difference? Can I do that and have my settings and folders remain as they are or would I have to start from scratch??
What is the size of your Inbox?
What is your anti-virus software?
Also, please post your Troubleshooting Information. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button ≡, then select Help > Troubleshooting Information. Press the "Copy text to clipboard button" and paste the information into your reply.

You'd be wasting your time. All your data such as messages, passwords and user preferences, and changes made while you use Thunderbird, are stored in a special folder called a profile. Your profile folder is stored in a separate place from the Thunderbird program, so that if something ever goes wrong with Thunderbird your information will still be there. It also means that you can uninstall Thunderbird and reinstall without losing your settings and data. But you don't need to do that in order to troubleshoot a problem.

Sorry - no one had answered for so long I stopped checking. I just saw this from you @christ1 It won't let me post that information here. I did as you asked and I get this error when I tried to post it.
