Hi,
I'm trying to use Thunderbird for my e-mail, but when the message box comes up asking me for my password, it won't accept it.
I have checked my password is correct with the blueyonder people; my internet options are set to Thunderbird as my default e-mailer.
Regards,
Chris

I have a similar problem. After moving to a new server, I can't get any of my email accounts to accept the passwords that I have setup for them. I've tried your suggestions with no success. In addition the new passwords that I enter are not being saved by the system. I get this error in all cases.
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mydomain.com responded: Login failed

I've solved my problem, not sure if it will help everyone else though...
I had been a bit of a gimp and forgotten that the first part of my e-mail address (ie: __________@blueyonder.co.uk) is NOT the user name. Blueyonder send you a user name, a mixture of letters and numbers which you use to get an alias. ie: Your name.
I'd forgotten all of this, of course, as it was so long since I set-up the account originally.
So, another thing to try then: Are you using the correct user name? (especially if you're on blueyonder) it might be something like er6786fss768 rather than your name.
