Hi, Thanks, this brought some clarity ... and confusion. Apparently, the Thunderbird password manager saved duplicate entries. One of them had the correct password, one had the old password. I saw multiple entries for other accounts as well, so I cleared the passwords for all acounts and then re-entered them on account-by-account basis by checking for new mail and entering the correct password when prompted. That did the trick - thanks!
