Seem to be having issues with receiving and sending e-mail on my laptop.

I am running Thunderbird 45.6.0 on Windows 10 Home Version 1607.

It just stopped receiving e-mails with the error message:

Login to server xxxxxxx failed.

Then I re-entered my password and another error message:

Sending of password for user x@x.com did not succeed. Mail server xxxxxxxx responded: Authentication failed.

I was initially still able to send out messages, but now even that does not work after I started tinkering with the server settings.

I can send/receive e-mails on my iphone using the same password without any issues, so thinking it is not a server problem.

Please help

Thanks!
