email authentication failed.

I have two virgin media email accounts and use Thunderbird on my PC .

Recently one of them has failed authentication in Thunderbird while the other still works fine. Both use the same settings and I have not changed any of them. I can access both email accounts directly via the VM website. Any clues to why this is? Many thanks.
