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!
-KatIf 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. -

Help! Changed my password and e-mail, and now can...
I changed my my email address and password recently on Skype. Everything went smoothly on the Skype.com website on laptop but I cannot login to actually use skype from my laptop or phone anymore. I have tried the new password and it works fine to login to Skype.com but not on anything else anymore.
Any suggestions ?
Added text to Subject/Title for clarity.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?@Ray2905

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 tried changing my password, and it changed to one that wasnt it, and i dont know it. So i tried it too many times and now its saying it is disabled, connect to itunes. but a problem is that my power button on top is broken. how to i fix it?
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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?
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. -
