Locked accounts prevent other accounts from receiving emails

Thunderbird Send and receive email

Today all my yahoo & aol accounts were locked (About 10) . I had to release all 10 of them before Thunderbird can receive emails on accounts that are not locked (other than hotmail , gmail etc). I am reasonably sure this is not a yahoo / aol issue (though I know they are owned by same company Verizon Media )

Because I have seen this problem in the past with other email domains . If hotmail or gmail is locked then I cannot receive any yahoo emails until I release all locks on hotmail or gmail etc accounts

I read somewhere it may be auth issue such as OAuth2 but all my my settings are correct to OAuth2

What exactly does "locked" mean here? IOW what wording or behavior is seen on the screen?

And what exactly does "release" mean here? IOW what action did you take?
