Everything has been running along fine until about a week ago that I changed my router's SSID's name and password.

I use TB in two different computers and as soon as I changed my router's settings, TB stopped working in both of the computers. I kept being told that the connection to server timed out. I restarted my modem and router, but I kept getting the same error.

I tried connecting to a different LAN in a different place yet i kept getting the same error.

I decided to remove both of my emails in both of my laptops to set them up again. Now I can't even set them up in neither of the computers because I now get the following error message: "Configuration could not be verified is -- the username or password wrong?" It's 100% not wrong.

I tried setting it up manually in both IMAP and POP3. Nothing. I tried checking if I have two-step authentication enabled. It is not enabled. I tried completely uninstalling TB and reinstalling the latest version. Nothing. I tried unblocking TB on my Windows Firewall. It wasn't blocked. I scanned my PC for virus. Nothing. I uninstalled my antivirus and tried setting it up. Nothing. I tried using two other completely different email accounts instead of my own two with also different servers. Nothing.

Please help!
