Since the latest update a Yahoo Mail sign-in keeps popping up...sometimes two different versions. It's driving me nuts. Should I uninstall/reinstall Thunderbird. It's so frequent for no apparent reason that I may have to give up Thunderbird and many, many years of use...and donations. thx, deanna

No response necessary. The problem is not with Thunderbird. Seems to be w/Yahoo Mail itself. deanna

@Duf,

For you, the latest version is what number please?

> Seems to be w/Yahoo Mail itself.

deanna, also, does that mean you solved the problem?

And if you solved it, what did you changed that helped?

I did solve the problem. I deleted Yahoo Mail from Thunderbird and reinstalled it. Thankfully performing flawlessly as I had begun researching alternative email aggregators.

Thanks for the update.

But we still need your version number from Help > About. Also, do you have only one account? If more, please list them to help complete the picture.

Thanks

Thunderbird Version 148 (64-bit). Two Gmail accounts and one Yahoo.
