Saved Password-Manager Thunderbird
My Thunderbird often loses the saved passwords. Probably when the connection is not working properly. Then I always have to type in the many passwords again. How can I save the file with the passwords so that I can restore them with a bat job when calling TB?

It would be unlikely that TB is losing all the 'many passwords'. Please send a screenshot of the error message you are getting so we can see the context of the problem.

There is no error message. TB only requires a new password when accessing the accounts and does not use the passwords who are already saved.
This happens almost every time when I restart TB. When TB has been running for a while, it knows all the passwords.
I assume that if TB has a bad connection at startup, it can't connect to the server and therefore assumes the password is wrong... so TB requires new passwords. TB then probably deletes the old passwords. This only happens for the accounts that are loaded first.
I just need to know the name of the file in which TB stores the passwords ... then I can make a BAT job that saves this file before starting TB. I can then use this backup if TB breaks the password file at startup.
This is a bug who exists also if Windows connect to a W-LAN who ask for a password. When the W-LAN do not receive the correct passwort and state that the password is ok, then the user must send the passwort at new ... and then the old password was deleted on the client side. When the client send a wrong or broken password he get the message wrong password and then he ask for a new password.
