How to change my password and my incoming and outgoing mail servers

Hi I have used Outlook Express for years and I know how to configure "everything" I need within the settings pages because their settings pages are all "logical" with everything out in the open.
However, Thunderbird "hides" their settings behind buttons and confusing screens.
There are many tutorials that explain how to set up Thunderbird from the beginning, and show how to set up a new email account. But I have not been able to find a tutorial on how to change my email account password "after" I have been using Thunderbird for awhile.
I also see no way to change the incoming and outgoing servers. For example, I have changed from one hosting company to another hosting company and I need to use the new mail servers from the new hosting company and I do not see any tutorials anyplace that cover ongoing or day-to-day activities with Thunderbird.
Can you please change your settings screens to make Thunderbird easier for new people to find these normal and necessary items?
Also can you please point me to a tutorial that shows me how to change my email account password and change my incoming and outgoing servers?
Thanks so much!
Edward

If you wan to create an account, you must the delete the existing account.
So take backup of your emails if your using POP3
Two ways you can do it
*Copy all the emails to Local folder
*Back up your Mail folder from your profile

  • Hotmail and Yahoo Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers

    Does anyone know what the incoming and outgoing mail servers are for hotmail and yahoo? I'm trying to put them into my mail account, and can't seem to figure out which one (pop or imap) to use.
    Thank you!
    -Kat

    If you are not using the paid (plus) accounts for Yahoo and Hotmail, they do not support access through email client applications like Mail, etc.
    For Hotmail, you may have success with the HttpMail Plugin if your account is old enough.
    For Yahoo-and Hotmail if it doesn't work with the plugin-you can use MacFreePOPs.

    To changing password you have to use ALTER USER <USER NAME> IDENTIFIED BY <NEW PASS> but old session you can not invalidate but can kill hem using ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID,SERILA' there sid and serial you can find from v$SESSION.

I have tried the new password and it works fine to login to Skype.com but not on anything else anymore.
    Any suggestions ?

    Hello,
    Please give iansantos a break here...I somehow think he does not speak ROMANIAN nor know about that little issue -- it's news to me as well...but thank you for sharing it for other volunteers and participants in this community to find.
    Rather, what he interpreted (and, indeed I concur) from your original post was that you needed to alter your stored, inside of BIS, existing email credentials (after you changed them at your email server). And, there are many ways to do that, with the method you listed as being only one of them...so, he interpreted your primary goal as being to get BIS re-configured with your new email credentials, and provided to you an alternate method to do so.
    Now that, with your 2nd post, we can understand better what your original desire was, we now can know that our interpretation of your original goal was mistaken. But, again, give iansantos a break...like you, he is only human.
    Good luck!

  • How to change the password and username in the scan to email function of a HP laserjet 300

    Trying to set up the scan to email function. Using the printer pad, I get as far as getting to  SMTP outgoing and then I get an error message that the username or password is incorrect.    I do not know what the correct  username or password is.
    I would like to get rid of what ever the incorrrect information is and  redo the information.  NO one seems to understand the problem.  Any help?

  • Someone changed my password and e-mail AGAIN :X

    Please, help... :X

    Oh dear.
    Not sure what to suggest, other than double checking the settings for the rouge account are exactly the same between your iPod Touch and MacBook. And that you have entered the right password, I know you say you have and I don't doubt you but just sometimes errors can creep in.
    Sorry I can't be more helpful to you.

  • I changed the password to one of my gmail accounts. My MacBook Air accepts the new password and shows me email, my iPhone 5s tells me it's not a valid password. In settings, I change the password and pw is accepted. How can I get 5s to accept new pw?

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
    You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
    The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
    For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

    You'll need a system recovery or Mac OS X install disc. Don't drop your Dad's user account, though. If he's got any serialized software, it may not function for all users on the machine, and you may need to go back to his account.
