Started 3 days ago! No problems for years. Now changed password 3 times. Can login with password on comcast.net but not with Thunderbird. Check the setting and new password was saved.

I'm not having that problem, but here are my settings. How do they compare with yours?

IMAP: Server name: imap.comcast.net Port: 993 user name: my Comcast email address connection security: SSL/TLS authentication method: Normal password

SMTP: Server Name: smtp.comcast.net Port: 465 User Name: my Comcast email address Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password

=======

You could try deleting your passwords for those servers from the password manager (Settings | Privacy & Security | Saved Passwords,) after which you should be prompted to input it again. I recently discovered that there were some leftover entries there that referenced old credentials - they weren't causing a problem for me, but maybe they are for you? I deleted them anyway.

I recently had a problem with another email account, not Comcast, where my mail stopped working in Thunderbird. I eventually deleted the account and re-added it, letting Thunderbird choose the settings from its database. That revealed that the provider had changed their settings without letting me know. It works now. I would not want to do that with Comcast because I have years and years worth of mail that it would take forever to download again, but if all else failed, I might resort to that.
