When I try to send an email TB prompts me for a new password. I enter and click save by Password Manager but it doesn't work. And then I keep getting the error message that TB cannot connect to outgoing server and to check server settings. I don't see any problems with the settings

password errors usually mean problems other than passwords.

A very common issue for Americans is the use of a VPN which tends to break their email sending ability as their ISP now thinks they are not connected from the ISP's network and refuses to send mail for them.
