If this occurs, delete the perfectly good saved password using " Tools -> Options -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords -> Show Passwords" and restart Thunderbird (because the deleted password is still in memory). Sometimes when a server comes back up after a connection failure, Thunderbird will never log in to the server no matter what you enter. If a server is down, Thunderbird will forget your password and will keep asking you to re-enter it till it connects to the server or until you Cancel, whichever comes first.
