Thunderbird passwords -

[Bob Goodwin]

Yesterday Thunderbird began asking for email passwords that it should 
have been finding in its password file. Edit > Preferences >Security > 
Passwords is empty, there should be two passwords there.

I don't know if this is something that has happened to Thunderbirdor 
Fedora 27.

I have not seen others complaining so it must be a problem peculiar to 
my updated system.

I would like to start a second profile but have not been able to figure 
how that is done,Google seems to provide only information on profiles 
for Windows systems.

I know I have a default profile, would like to add another to see if it 
will create a passwords file that willsave passwords.

Any suggestions/help appreciated.

Ive had password issues with Thunderbird from day one. I wound up just
making it prompt me for it.. for whatever reason Thunderbird would lockout
my domain account if left to its own devices.

Sorry Im no help on this.

This fedora 27 began as the beta version and Thunderbird has been 
working without this problem all along, until I switched things on and 
found the request for passwords. Thunderbird is far from perfect but it 
does the things I need better than anything else I have tried. So I 
guess I'm stuck with it until something better comes along ...

Thanks for responding,

Bob

I'm using Thunderbird (52.4.0 (64-bit)) and haven't had an issue.
It sometimes takes a while connecting to the SMTP server when sending
email, but I suspect that's the SMTP server's problem (we use Office365
for email services).

Thanks for the response. I gave up on fixing it and wiped out 
.thunderbird/. Now I am recreating filters and installing some add-ons 
that I need. That fixed the passwords problem.
