I have set up my protonmail account in thunderbird, but the password for my account won't be accepted. I have tried my protonmail password, and the long-string automatically-generated password for the server. I simply keep getting the message attached

Server 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address for your network interface.

Just a guess, but you either have an anti virus or something else messing with network connections using a proxy, perhaps even a VPN.
