Well, both Thunderbird and your ISP's email account have passwords. You wouldn't want any random person getting into your email, so your ISP requires both a username and a password.
hey, don't forget that your PC needs a password as well.
But you can configure Thunderbird to remember your username and password and to supply them transparently when needed.
oh right, all the way down the tree. With only the dog around why don't you use automatic password-less login to your box as well and they, following the rest of Lew's advice, you'll never need to enter a password.
Or leave you computer running all the time and never shut down Thunderbird or any of your connections.
They you can buy one of those face recognition things for your front door so you never need to carry a key.
How far do you want to go with this? How well trained is your dog? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Internet_dog.jpg I have had that famous cartoon hanging on the wall of my computer room for at least 20 years!
Perhaps what you really need is one of those 'password keepers' like LastPass. or 'qpass' from the distribution, but you'll have to remember the password to access that.... I 've been looking into that. I'll post a new thread about password keepers pretty soon. --doug
