Thunderbird account handling

Two accounts, different password

[deMorte]

I've been scouring the web to find out how to change the password on an email account in Thunderbird. I think this is what could solve the problem presented below.

A co-worker has two email accounts, both from the same mailserver. Office Outlook on her office workstation gets mails sent to both accounts. Thunderbird on her personal laptop only gets the mail sent to the default account.
First I checked that Outlook leaves the mails on the server. It does. I tried removing and adding the secondary account in Thunderbird in hopes that the account would ask for password when connecting to the server. Unfortunately, it did not.

Now I'm asking:
How to set a different password for each account on Thunderbird?
OR
Is the problem something else?

Input would be most appreciated.

tools -> options -> privacy -> edit saved passwords

removing the saved password in there should mean that TB will ask you for the password again next time you connect

>>How to set a different password for each account on Thunderbird?

you need to set them up as 2 accounts via account settings and you can have them use the same or separate inboxes which will be a choice you are offered while setting up the accounts or can be decided later

Thank you for the advice. It helped me to figure out I was barking up the wrong tree. The problem probably lies in our own server as mails from outside the office addresses seem to work just fine. Now I have to figure that one out.
