I have two email accounts in thunderbird on windows 11. I want to remove and revert to saved passwords for my inbound and outbound servers. However when I either click on primary password a pop up says enter you current password which is not accepted. If I go to change primary password and enter current password and leave new password bland I get messsge saying currrnt password not correct. Meanwhile I am not getting any new messsges but open messages still appear in both accounts. Can you help me to revert to using saved PW’s?

Just to clarify: the Primary Password is the optional password you enter when first starting Thunderbird before accessing the accounts. It has no relation to account passwords. Does that help? Otherwise, I am not understanding your issue. Thank you.
