Re: Thunderbird password

Thunderbird does not have a password as such - your email account does, though = is that what you are talking about?

Re: Thunderbird password

I always keep a written record of important information. Sorry, it is literally years since I messed with my email settings. I'm sure there is a way to reset the password, but I don't recall how.

@MisterW   - can you advise?

Re: Thunderbird password

You need to click edit on the mailbox you want to change the password for and then you should be presented with the option to change it.

Nope for some reason did send a message to my Hotmail account but wouldn't receive anything.  Plugged my old pc in and it works with all the same settings!!
