I have 6 email accounts and only 1 is a live.com email. That is the only account that keeps popping up a password error when I open Thunderbird. All settings are same same, full username with @live.com, SSL/TLS,norm pass and so on. Some days no issue grabbing emails ( no password prob ) then starts having issues, and I never changed anything. Any recommendations to resolve?

This is indicative of an incorrect password. Most (all?) Microsoft-related email accounts now require separate app passwords.

MS accounts don't need app passwords unless the mail app doesn't support OAuth authentication.

Use these settings for hotmail/outlook.com/live accounts:
