She suddenly lost the ability to receive email through thunderbird although she could send. The provider, century link, changed her password in an attempt to fix. I was able to access her address list but now she has lost past emails and still cannot receive or send.

Can you still access the old account via webmail?

Never ever post your email password to a public forum. Make sure to change your email password on the server ASAP. After changing the password on the server, you'll also have to change the password Thunderbird has remembered. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_and_changing_email_passwords
