Yahoo Mail authentication errors in Activity Manager

I recently set up Thunderbird for Windows as a troubleshooting step for my Yahoo Mail account which has been generating an incessant number of authentication pop-ups in Microsoft Outlook (Classic) for Windows. I had been using New Outlook for many months before switching to Classic Outlook a couple of weeks ago. With New Outlook, there had been no authentication issues nor pop-ups appearing. I have been using the OAuth authentication, not app passwords, in all cases.

Setup within Thunderbird was relatively easy and the OAuth authentication went through without issues. The account has synchronized and seems to be continuing to do so as I read, delete, and send messages.

However, when I went in to the Activity Manager, I'm seeing a number of errors, appearing every 10-15 minutes or so. They read as follows:

  • Alert from account xxx@yahoo.com: AUTHENTICATE Server error - Please try again later
  • The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account xxx@yahoo.com responded: UID FETCH completed.
  • The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account xxx@yahoo.com responded: p.

Can anyone help me understand what they mean? It would help me stabilize Thunderbird and might give some clues as to what is happening in Outlook Classic for me. It would seem some have authentication issues with Yahoo on different platforms while the service works perfectly fine for others. I would like to move away from Yahoo as I find it finicky with a number of its features, but I'm a long-term user (25+ years) and don't see that being a practical solution at the moment.

Thanks!

How to prevent new Thunderbird mail from being sent to Notifications or Newsletter folders

New mail keeps going to either the Inbox, Notifications, or the Newsletter folders by default. No filters have been added to change the initial settings. How can the settings be modified so that all incoming mail goes to the inbox, eliminating every future instance of it being directed elsewhere?

I have no interest in the Notifications or Newsletter folders. I'm happy with getting rid of them completely, if that is a possibility that can solve the problem.

New Messages go only to Local Folder; Account Inbox is bypassed and has no F5 function

In the last couple days, I am not receiving messages in my email account inbox (att.net/yahoo). Messages are going directly to the local inbox folder. Windows 10.

When I search for new emails in the local folder, they are tagged with a gold diamond, and my option is to "Move to inbox again," which does move the messages back to the main inbox. But, "again" implies that the message arrived in the account folder, but got automatically passed to local folder. On or two occasions, I noticed an very fast dowloading to the inbox, which disappears immediately.

And, I get no response in my email account when hitting F5. F5 works for the local folder, and other accounts, and Shift-F5 (getting messages for all accounts) updates the others, but not my main email account.

The issue is not with att.net/yahoo. I have checked all my settings and server settings in Thunderbird, done the folder repairs several times, closed and reopened Thunderbird many times, deleted Inbox.MSF, etc., but nothing works. The issue seems to be specific to Thunderbird. Any ideas?

Using Thunderbird, my emails display the wrong time 1 hour different from Windows 11 system time

T-Bird consistently reports receipt of an email to be received one hour earlier that it was actually received. For example, I received and email at 4:03 pm (Windows 11 time and actual time). The time that T-Bird reports the email as being received is 3:10 pm. I would appreciate help in resolving this. I think it might be the cause of a problem with scheduling an appointment - the online confirmation says 3:10 is the appointment time while a confirming email (received moments later) says 2:10 is the appointment time

On MS Win11, my TBird IMAP client (up to date) has two mail accounts. In one, deleted messages return immediately after deletion! Also, (possibly related), this account has TWO Spam folders (I did not do this). The other mail account's messages stay deleted and has only one Spam folder. I ran the re build tool on the first one without success. I am NOT technical, but have donated several times to TBird (I love it)

My eMail has worked fine for many years - until this morning.

 When I first tried to "get messages", I got a response, "connection to inbound.att.net server reset".
 I restarted Thunderbird, and then the computer (Windows 11), and when I tried again, I got, ""inbound.att.net (POP) .. certificate revoked".
 I can login to my ATT webmail, but I can't download eMail to my computer via Thunderbird.

... In my attempt to upload this question, I looked for the TB Version, but it said to update Thunderbird. I did so, not it is back to telling me "connection...reset"

 Please help!

Earlier today I was able to access my AT&T email using Thunderbird. I have several email addresses & they worked. But later on I could not download any AT&T email. Interesting that my gmail address still works with TB.

I tried a few things - An AT&T address can send to the gmail address & the gmail does receive it. The gmail can send to an AT&T address. The gmail indicates it was sent, but the AT&T address never receives it.

It seems to be an AT&T problem so I went to the AT&T site & deleted the Secure Mail Key an created a new one. Did this on just one address. It can still send to the gmail address, however it still cannot receive anything.

When trying to receive any AT&T email, at the bottom of the screen it displays my address & “Connected to inbound.att .net”. That would seem to indicate I'm connected but just cannot get my email.

And suggestions on how to get TB working with AT&T email? Thanks.

Hello,

Everything working just fine last night. Wake up and Thunderbird will not retrieve emails.

Remembered this old message I got so I went through and deleted my second email address, didn't help.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo

Checked all settings compared to Yahoo, still won't download messages. I can even send a message with my current settings no problem, and it does login, just won't retrieve emails. Gives me a connection timeout.

Anyone have any ideas?
