I changed the password of my POP account and I had previously selected to save the password. When I brought up TB it told me that the server had not accepted the username and password. It displayed this window three times!

In order for me to get it to update I had to drill down to the preferences dialog to remove the old password and then it prompted me for the password. 

TB should be smart enough to recognize that a password may have been changed and it should prompt you for a new password.
