[Thunderbird] Keeps asking for password

I would open up the password manager in Tb and delete the username/password for both incoming/outgoing to reset it.

Send a dummy email to trigger the PM and reenter the info.

Password may have been corrupted from an update.

Could also be a server problem from your ISP.

Been getting these as well.. It's the usual GMAIL going down temporarily.. Its really annoying though.

reply to Subaru
ok this is odd now.. I can grab mail from gmail in thunderbird but if I try to send mail it asks for my password.

For pop3 I was asked twice also. It is standard.

Once when sending and again when receiving email.

Just click the box to have Tb Password manager remember them.

i click that box all the time but when google does something funny it always pops up again asking me for the password again.

Tb is retaining your username/password and if it is Gmail then Google IMO is to blame.

On occasion I have that issue with my ISP. Rare but it does happen. I do not change anything and let the ISP clear up the issue.
