where do I find my outgoing server smtp password and I might as well ask where my ingoing server password is too?
I had previously had THUNDERBIRD for my email. Extremely happy with it. My computer died, new computer purchased Window 7 on purpose. But no one can help me load Thunderbird because we can't find these passwords.. that they are asking for? Any help would be appreciated. WindowLIVE mail is driving me insane. I am 65 yrs old and not stupid but the computer is stressing me to no end. I received over 70 emails a day. I truly don't want to give up my bellsouth account. I don't want to access it thru ATT. I like the look and feel of thunderbird. HELP .. thanks in advance. MaryLOST

They are stored together... so you will find them all at once.
Tools menu > options > security > passwords > Saved passwords >show passwords
However I think your problem is more likely your anti virus/firewall blocking Thunderbird. Often when your being asked for a password it is not incorrect settings, it is the anti virus not cooperating. This is particularly so with Norton's suite and the ATT security suite powered by McAfee.
Turn off email scanning in your anti virus program. Check and firewall component allows Thunderbird explicitly. Auto is not good enough apparently. If that does not work for you. Please add the troubleshooting information to your post To find the Troubleshooting information:
- Open Help (or click on three-line-icon and select Help)
- Choose Troubleshooting Information
- Use the button Copy to clipboard to select all. Do not check box "Include account names"!

I didn't get to all the steps. I agree I think it's the McAfee virus software. I didn't want it, but the store installed it even though I was much happy with AVG. Never had a blocking problem with them. ATT I believe wants people to give up their bellsouth .. format and go with ATT email. Their screens are terrible. Thunderbird screen for email, is very large and easy to use and I am very happy it came back to me. Matt thanks for the help, I have printed off your suggestion and saving them should something go hay wire again. Thanks for being there. MARYLOST ( no more for the moment wink )
