Post Thunderbird


Hi Guys

I am Administrator in a company

all the persons in the company are using the thunderbird to access their mails

I had configured thunderbird such that when getting mails and sending mails it doesn't ask for a password (automatically remember the password). Two days before I changed the password of users mail, after changing the password the users are getting authentication failure,

I went and reset to the old password and works fine

but in thunderbird there is no option for setting a new password


Is there any solution to this

Delete the old stored passwords for the users

Thunderbird menu bar Edit-->Preferences-->Privacy
<Passwords Tab> View Saved Passwords button

Locate and delete the email account(s); maybe something like mailbox://????????????

When done exit out of thunderbird, the next time when sending/recieving email the user(s) will be asked to supply the password, use the new passwords you set up.
