[Thunderbird] Keeps asking for password

I have been using thunderbird to connect to gmail it's set up for my mom.. Ok so I put in the password and click on save to remember.. all will go well until a few weeks or days later a message will pop up telling me to enter in the password again anyone know how to stop this?

Re: [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.

Re: [Thunderbird] Keeps asking for 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.

Re: [Thunderbird] Keeps asking for password

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.
