I had to change the password on my verizon email account. Now verizon

none for outgoing.
You can try to:
1/ Add a new smtp outgoing account with the new password.
2/ Edit the current settings for the account that handles the old
password to force a password reset.
Greetings,
Thank you all for your help. The suggestion I liked best was to use the
addon editor. Alas it doesn't want to work with my 3.0.11 (Squeeze)
version of Icedove. So, to sum up for posterity:
Edit -> Preferences -> Security -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords
Then select the smtp account and hit remove.
Then;
Edit -> Account Settings
Select the account in question.
Where it says "Outgoing Server", from the drop down' select the one
*not* marked as default. ( I'm not sure why this is needed but things
didn't work with the default set.)
Select "Server Settings" for the account in question.
Turn *OFF* "Use secure authentication. (Here again I don't know why this
is needed but didn't work with it on.)
Now download your email and assign the new password when asked.
I hope this helps someone else.
Gary R.
