Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/153.5.1 Linux 7.0.0-42-generic #42~24.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Oct 19 14:43:01 UTC 2 (Mint, Cinamon)

Was working well. Began trying to add profiles and could not seem to get that done. Gave up that attempt for now and thought all was well, until I went to send an email late Friday Nov 6, 26. Was challenged for SMTP password. None of the ones I tried seemed to work. The target SMTP machine is local, same subnet, postfix.

Using a backup Laptop as I feared my usual PC, Windows 10, might have been compromised and has been shutdown.

I'm at a loss. Other than change passwords on several machines, what are my options?
