When I use Thunderbird to download my e-mail, I get the error message "Sending of password for j*********@bellsouth.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Server error - Please try again later.

My e-mail password has changed.

How do I get Thunderbird to ask for the new password?
