Hi. Recently Thunderbird automatically updated(current version is 115.5.1 32bit) on my win 10 Pro 64bit (v22H2) desktop, and now most of my accounts have a problem.
My GMAIL account is the only one that I can both receive and send mail from.
Both Outlook accounts can receive mail, but only one account can send. Both accounts have exactly the same imap & smtp settings. Both have Authentication set to normal password.
The account that cannot send mail fails login, the popup window suggests this is a password problem, but no password I have works. (this includes 2 MS generated App passwords).
Most importantly, my main Yahoo account cannot send or receive mail. I will just focus on this one for the time being.
The 2 error messages I get are:-
1. "Connection to server export.imap.mail.yahoo.com timed out" (after several minutes)
2. "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to outgoing server(SMTP) smtp.mail.yahoo.com timed out. Try again" (after several minutes).
Here are things I`ve tried.
Disabling the ipv6 setting using config editor as suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1401034
Changing the timeout mailnews.tcptimeout with config editor as suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1367042
Logged into my yahoo account through browser using email address and password. Deleted all app passwords for TB. Waited 24 hours. Logged back in to check changes had taken. Generated new app password, and took copy of it. Checked with yahoo that the spaces in the password should be removed.
I deleted the Yahoo account from TB, and re-installed it, both with the automatic configuration TB uses, and the manual configuration method. Despite TB asking for a password (I supplied the newly generated Yahoo App password), there is no password for smtp, imap or OAth2 stored in the saved passwords within TB.
I have checked the imap & smtp settings against these https://help.yahoo.com/kb/manually-download-yahoo-emails-sln28681.html, and used OAuth on both incoming & outgoing. I have also tried these settings with Authentication set to normal password.
I have tried these settings https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN4075.html with OAuth2, and with normal password.
I have previously temporarily turned off Avast free antivirus, as well as Win 10 firewall. Since there is activity on some of the accounts I`m assuming the problem is not this.
I have also previously loaded windows in safe mode with networking, and that did not make a difference.
Outlook on my Android has no problems sending or receiving from any of these accounts.
I can find no useful info on the net with regards to problems after updating, but refuse to believe I am the only one experiencing problems.
After 3 days I have run out of patience. I have exhausted information and options. Can somebody offer suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
