Re: Reset email passwords
Richard Owlett wrote: I was thinking along those lines. I'm setting up another physical machine for doing a test install of SeaMonkey after asking my provider for their preferences. That's a lot of effort. Unless you have reason to believe system corruption, you can get the same effect by using the Profile Manager to set up a new profile. Getting a list of preferences from the provider isn't a bad thing, especially if there's any possibility that they've made changes. One easy place to trip up can be the methodology of user ID on the server side. It's common that mail servers use email address as the user ID, but it's not universal, and if the server uses a different ID, that can be harder to figure out. The one twist that I've found is that some providers are doing more things with 2-factor authentication. I found that with my provider, when I set up a mail client on my phone, and I couldn't authenticate. It turns out that there is a different password that is used for POP/IMAP/SMTP than the normal password. In that setup, I can use my normal password if I'm accessing via a web client, but if I've configured a new account in an offline client, I have to use the alternate password. The thing that confused me is that it looks like my account has been grandfathered, where I have not have to reconfigure any existing connections. Among other things, I do have my POP and IMAP settings (but not SMTP) set not to save passwords, where I have to enter the password once per session (to ensure frequent-enough usage that I don't forget a fairly long password), and I use the password that I know. The alternate password is randomly-generated, and I have no idea of what that is. Additionally, when I changed the user-facing password, that's still the password that I enter when prompted, and it's still the password that I use for SMTP. From further discussion up-thread, I do see mention of use of ports 110 or 995 for POP. Even if you've used 110 forever, SSL connections are getting to be very common, and it's not impossible that your provider is requiring use of SSL and port 995. If that's the case, then for port 995, you generally want to set Connection Security to use SSL/TLS and Authentication method to "Normal Password". The same applies for outbound mail on port 465 or 587 (depending on which the provider uses). Although there's other methods for encrypting credentials exchange, if you have SSL active, the connection is encrypted, and there's no need to encrypt transmission of the password -- and any setting other than "normal" will cause the server to not see a valid password.

You change it by selecting the account under the Domain in the

Click the "Remove" button.
Close and restart SeaMonkey.
Attempt to get email for that account.
I tested this with my Verizon email account and it only asked for my
password because the Username is still in the account settings.

Didn't work.
Never got a chance to enter password. Received error message:> Sending

Have you tried setting up the account in a test profile?
The Username is in the format usern...@emailprovider.com or .net or
whatever it is supposed to be?
I'll do that later today.

Tools-Data Manager -> Passwords only in Listbox. Click on the mail domain and
you should see a url starting with e.g. imap smtp news and a username as your
mail address. Remove it and you password should be gone. Close and reopen
SeaMonkey to be sure this is picked up.
Nrute force is to remove logins.json when SeaMonkey is closed but that will
kill all saved passwords.

I think the way to go is to try and retrieve your emails using
the old password.
It will fail, and ask you for the new password.
I think it should then ask you if you want to replace the old
with the new (in Seamonkey).
You can't do it directly in the Password Manager.
That is what I expected to happen.
It *DID NOT*
When I select the account name and then click "Get Msgs" the
response is:
Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server ** responded:
Invalid format for plain response.
Since the last time I used the account [less than 1 hour earlier
today], *nothing* has changed on my end.
My connection sees the other end as a Pop Server using Port 110.
and the password being sent insecurely.
110? Did your Mail provider tell you that the value had changed?
Mine are all Connection Security = SSL/TLS which maps to Port 995.
I've been on Port 110 for years (decades even ;)
I had updated password on one account and at next login got the
reported error message.
Immediately before telephoning my provider, I had checked email on a
secondary account with no problem. While speaking to the tech about
the 1st account, I had her reset the password on the secondary
account. After I hung up, the secondary account gives the identical
error message.
There must be a method to change SeaMonkey's copy of the password.
I *DID DO* it LAST year. Just don't remember how.
Pop3 on port 110 is the older of the two popular protocols used to
retrieve eMail from remote mail servers. (The newer protocol, imap,
the Internet message access protocol, uses port 143.)
Many ISP are changing to imap.
When I contacted them by phone I mentioned that I was served by their
POP server. They are a local company and I've been a customer for
three decades since they were a storefront in a strip mall.
In any case I need to know how to locally change the password it sends
to the server.
Well, you can always delete the entry in the password manager. It will
then ask you for a password (along with your email user-name). Since
the exact form of the user-name varies between email providers, make
sure you remember what it is supposed to look like.
In my case, the user-name could be hyperspace.flyover or
hyperspace.flyo...@vogon.gov.

My email provider is going thru his annual "Update Your Password"

I can not remember how to reset SeaMonkey's copy of the password.
I can go to
Edit > Preferences > Privacy & Security > Passwords > Password Manager
and display the existing password.
How do I change it? ;{
I know I did it last year but can't remember how.
Please help a septuagenarian who is aging ;}

I think the way to go is to try and retrieve your emails using the
old password.
It will fail, and ask you for the new password.
I think it should then ask you if you want to replace the old with
the new (in Seamonkey).
You can't do it directly in the Password Manager.
That is what I expected to happen.
It *DID NOT*
When I select the account name and then click "Get Msgs" the response is:
Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server ** responded:
Invalid format for plain response.
Since the last time I used the account [less than 1 hour earlier
today], *nothing* has changed on my end.
My connection sees the other end as a Pop Server using Port 110.
and the password being sent insecurely.
110? Did your Mail provider tell you that the value had changed?
Mine are all Connection Security = SSL/TLS which maps to Port 995.
I've been on Port 110 for years (decades even ;)
I had updated password on one account and at next login got the reported
error message.
Immediately before telephoning my provider, I had checked email on a
secondary account with no problem. While speaking to the tech about the
1st account, I had her reset the password on the secondary account.
After I hung up, the secondary account gives the identical error message.
There must be a method to change SeaMonkey's copy of the password.
I *DID DO* it LAST year. Just don't remember how.
