Thunderbird on Windows 10. New problem. Every time when sending an email from Hotmail a window appears asking for my Hotmail password. Enter password and email sends. Please where and how can I enter the password once to prevent this happening every time?

Chosen solution

When it prompts for password, you enter the password and then select the checkbox for Password Manager to remember password, click on OK.

Are you selecting the checkbox to instruct password to be remembered/stored in Thunderbird ?
