Was requested to change passwords after Thunderbird failed to respond. I have entered so many passwords I`m at a loss of what to do as I`m unable to remember the last P/W.Can I wipe all the P/W`s and start with a clean slate. Should this situation continue I will have to find another email program. Barry

You'd need to explain that in more detail. What does 'Thunderbird failed to respond' mean, and how is that related to passwords?

You can delete all account passwords you told Thunderbird to remember. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_and_changing_email_passwords

That wouldn't address your problem though, since you'll still need to know your account password, and Thunderbird will prompt you for it. Note, you do have an account with your email provider, not with Thunderbird.

Should this situation continue I will have to find another email program.

You may be disappointed to learn that regardless of which email client you use, you always need your account password.
