I can no longer send e-mail in TB but still receive it.

Recently TB quit allowing me to send e-mail messages. I still receive mail, but when I try to send messages, I am prompted for a password. It does not accept the correct password. I can send messages from my iphone and a web-based e-mail app, so it is not a problem within the account, just with TB. How to I correct this problem?

Get a list of SMTP server settings from your email provider and check those against what you have in Thunderbird. Maybe one of the SMTP server settings needs updating.

If you need help looking at your server settings, go to the Help Menu and select Troubleshooting Information. Clear the box to include Account Names. Press the button labeled Copy All to Clipboard and then come back here and paste that info to a reply box.
