Happy NY to everybody! I need to change password on my mail server not IN Thunderbird but VIA Thunderbird as a mail client. I tried to changed by removing the login/password records and installing them with new passwords but I could not enter the server then. There is NO ACCESS to the mail server via browser because there is no browser interface (corporate mail).

There is no support in email protocols (POP, IMAP & SMTP) for changing passwords, so no email client using these protocols can do this.

it may be possible with an Exchange/Outlook combination, but they don't use these standard protocols. In my work environment, the system username/password pair which gains me access to my pc and the company servers also opens up my email account.

If you'r using regular email protocols, then this is a job that needs to be performed either by an administrator, or via an interface (such as a web page) that supports such administrative functions. If it's a "corporate" account then I would expect there to be an IT department who should look after these matters.
