Suddenly my Thunderbird password failed. It also failed on my Hostgator provider, so I changed it and Hostgator accepts it. But changing it on Thunderbird still gives me 

       Sending of password for user dave@dianeanddave.net did not succeed. Mail server mail.dianeanddave.net responded: [AUTH] Authentication failed.

Then the message 

       Login to server mail.dianeanddave.net with username dave@dianeanddave.net failed.

provides an option to 'Enter New Password.'

When I do that, it still fails. What's my next step?

It took a couple of reboots for the TBird change to take effect. All is well now.
