I needed to changed the user name on one of my emails at my own domain, so I just made a new account on the server, used the same password and changed the settings at the excising account in Thunderbird. Now I can send by the SMTP server using the new name, but I can't receive by the POP server probably since Thunderbird don't recognizes the new user name with the password. Is there some way to see and change the POP password in Thunderbird? I don't want to delete the account and create a new one if I can avoid it.

To change a password delete it, then close and re-start Thunderbird. When the password is needed, you should be asked to re-enter it.

There is no Options at the Tools menu. The only thing I find is Account Setting and Preferences at the Edit menu and looking in Security for the specific account there is only options for Digital signing, Encryption and Certificates.

Note, I'm not using Windows, but a BSD system (looks a little like Linux) and the Thunderbird version is 31.4.0

Tools|Options is a link to an article about the differences between platforms. Whilst it doesn't specifically mention BSD, I guess you download and run the Linux variant of TB.

Edit|Preferences|Security… is my guess for your navigation. I think that's what I use on Linux at home.

Why are people so reluctant to explore their menus?

I'm not. Been clicking around all over the place but I don't find any settings for POP password, only for SMTP. That's why I can send but not receive. To me it looks like I'll have to delete the account and create a new one, but I'm trying to avoid that if possible..

It's solved. After clicking around in the Account Settings and changing the user name back and force as well as in the Identity Manager. Next day starting the computer and Thunderbird it asked for the password and after entering it, it works. Just restarting Thunderbird or rebooting didn't help, so I guess it was the clicking around and setting things back and force that made it and made TB understand that "hey there is something new here" ;) Thanks anyway for the effort trying to help.
