thunderbird only remembers my correct setting if opened as root

more options

My thunderbird , opened with administrator (right click) works ok. finds my pop3 smtp and knows password and user fine,but opened just regular, not as administrator, seems to have the right settings but the login is refused by the host as password incorrect. Do i always need now to open as administrator to get it to work ok?
