My laptop recently died on me and I had to buy a new one. I never gave it a thought to write down my password for the Thunderbird mail account. I have downloaded Thunderbird but I just can`t get into it because it needs a password which I can not supply. Consequently I can`t get into my email account. Is there a way to recover the old password because I really , really need my emails .

Talk to your email provider about password reset options. Note, there is no such thing as a Thunderbird email account. Thunderbird is an application run on your device, so it does not provide email addresses, nor the service to transmit emails. But Thunderbird can be used with your existing email address and service provider to send, receive, sort and search your email messages.
