How can I tell which of the three identically-named smtpout passwords to use for each of my three accounts and which Thunderbird keeps demanding of me?

Occasionally when I attempt to send an email from one of my three GoDaddy accounts, Thunderbird will put up a note requesting an smtpout password and refuse to send the email if I don't provide one, which I can't. I have located the place in the account settings where these smtp passwords are stored, but they are all identical. Only the gmail password is unique, and it has not had this problem. I made a guess as to which was which, and it worked for a day or two. Now It's refusing to send the email again. And sometimes it will work if I try two or three times to submit an email, but sometimes not.

FYI:Thunderbird could care less about your email password. Your provider asks for it and either you enter it or Thunderbird provides what to told it to save. If the server rejects it Thunderbird passes that message to you. This page tells you how to remove and replace what is saved by Thunderbird.

Intermittent server issues are usually the providers problem. GoDaddy is one of the worst.
