Re: [LUG] Thunderbird

 

Have you put the email address in correctly?

I had a similar problem a few days ago where I get getting my password
refused on one machine but the same password (and account) worked fine on
another; Turned out on the new machine I hadn't put in the full address
(missed the @... piece) - Once the email address was correct the password
was then accepted.

Regards,
Dave.

Subject: [LUG] Thunderbird

My ISP has changed my Control Panel on my website from Plesk to cPanel. 
While doing so he changed the password on my email, for some reason. I 
have changed it back but TB is asking for the password when I try to use 
the account, but will not accept it.

I know that it is correct. When I go to my website and use webmail to 
look at the emails, I can log in OK with the same password.

When I look through TB there does not seem to be any way to set/change 
the password on the account. I do seem to remember that when I first set 
it up I had to give a password and I told the program to remember it.

I am using IMAP by the way.

Do I have to delete the account on TB and start again or is there an 
easier way please?

Help, anyone??

Neil
