I have an account since aeons, and have often changed passwords. The way to do is more than irriating, last far to long. I saw one way in this forum, close and reopen Thunderbird. It seeks, that is right, but I only become a timeout after a long time (up to 5 minutes). I have Thunderbird 52.2.1 64bit Linux. Can anybody help? Thanks, dagnor

You need to change your password in two places, yes? At the email server, and in Thunderbird.

So before changing the password at the server, I'd go to Tools|Options|Security|Passwords→Saved Passwords in Thunderbird and delete the old one, or change it for the new. Double-click to edit it!

Then I'd close Thunderbird, and go to the mail server site and change it there. Then I'd restart Thunderbird. It ought to either succeed straight away (if you already updated the stored password) or ask you immediately for the password, since it now knows for sure that it doesn't have a stored password for that account.

You need to close and re-open Thunderbird to get it to re-connect to the server and start using the new password.

I think the delay/timeout you are seeing is the result of a lengthy negotiation-and-retry loop between Thunderbird and the server.
