Cannot change the password of one email account
I use Thunderbird on both a Windows PC and an Android smartphone (Thunderbird 8.2) in order to manage several email accounts of mine.
The latter has been showing me for a while that the password for one of the accounts is incorrect. However, I see no way to change it. When I click "Parameters", I see three groups of parameters (I am translating from the French) "General parameters", "Accounts", "Backup" (exporting/importing parameters), "Other". In none there is any mention of passwords.
How do I go about doing that?
Thanks, Michael

1. "Settings" > "Accounts" section > tap the account you want to configure.
2. "Fetching mail" > "Incoming server".
2.1. If "Authentication" is "Normal password": change the password in "Password" > tap "Next".
2.2. If "Authentication" is "OAuth 2.0": tap "Next" > (I haven't tested it, but I think what will happen is:) you will be asked to log in to your email account. Use your username and new password to log in.
3. Repeat step 1.
4. "Sending mail" > "Outgoing server".
4.1. If "Authentication" is "Normal password": repeat step 2.1.
4.2. If "Authentication" is "OAuth 2.0": repeat step 2.2.
