I had to change the password on my yahoo email account. I can't find out how to change it on Thunderbird. One solution I have seen is to go saved passwords, show the passwords, right click on the relevant password and go from there, The account I want to change does not appear. Just trying to read emails comes up with a login failure but no options to try a different password - like it used to do. How can I get round this?

Then Thunderbird didn't remember the password for that account, so there's nothing you can change.

What is the exact error message?
