Hello there We have read the guestion We try to help

The existing account that you use today has a password for this. If you use a different ID and password because you create this so that this forms an account for a new connection, this all happens on the same Thunderbird server of Thunderbird Imap related or pop that is Okay. so try to create a new account that is your email address and the password for a new connection. Each new ID is associated with a new or different account. The server will remain in use the same for this.

You can also choose to force the password for your existing account to your mail server, but your input field is apparently empty or there is a different password.
