On Thunderbird, It keeps saying password or user name are incorrect.  I have checked and rechecked and it is correct.  It would help so much to have this one (johnsonhillfarm) email on Thunderbird. 

I have my fitbyfaith homestead email set up on outlook on my phone and it works well, so set up johnsonhillfarm email same way and it accepted it and shows it is working, but never loads any emails.

Hello,

If the error that is being received is for the username and password I would recommend double-checking all settings that require this information to verify the full email address is added email@domain.com as well as re-enter any pre-filled password fields.
