When I went into Thunderbird at mid-day one of my accounts with my

I have no answer. However, with my ISP I periodically have the same
problem. I attempt to log on with claws-mail, without changing anything,
no update, no upgrade to the system. No tinkering, nothing at all and of
the two accounts one gives me this error message:
[13:07:10] POP3< -ERR invalid username/password
*** error occurred on authentication
*** Authentication failed.
Through my other account I let my ISP know this, and tell them again:
this has happened in the past, nothing has changed on my system and that
after a short period their server will allow me to log in again.
That this is something in their system.
They tell me again that I'm a Linux user and they don't support Linux
and that I can contact them by phone and they will renew my password
etc., etc..
I email back. Do not touch anything of my account on their server. It
will correct itself, I only report it in the hope that someone will
take notice and see what's happening, eventually.
They won't allow me access to their techs.
This is an ISP where I couldn't send or receive emails. Rang them to
tell them their mail servers were down. They told me they were not but
they hadn't received my emails. So I said I would send them an email
with the mail log through gmail, and they said they would accept it as
they accept all emails. Sent it.
I rang them back to ask if they received the gmail email from me. They
said they had not, they could not because their mail servers were down.
Stay well,
Charlie
That's odd. I have 6 gmail and 8 yahoo accounts. Yesterday all six gmail
accounts wanted the passwords reentered. I have thunderbird set to
remember passwords. At first I couldn't even get anything to enter into
the password box, although the checkbox and buttons worked fine. I
restarted my computer and it immediately stopped, saying no keyboard
found, even though pushing F1 continued booting and ENTER worked at the
grub menu. Once booted in I restarted thunderbird and re-entered the
passwords as saved. Everything works fine now. At the time I had put it
down to intermittent power outages due to t-storms, but now I wonder.
