I have tried reinstalling the account automatically and manually no matter which way I do it it just comes up awaiting authorization then just hangs there? I have doubled checked all the settings, imap.mail.yahoo.com 993 OAuth. smtp.mail.yahoo.com OAuth 465 SSL/TLS I have done everything that I can find so am I missing something? Chris

1. Open your email client's Config Editor (in Thunderbird, go to Settings > General > Config Editor) 2. Search for mailnews.oauth.usePrivateBrowser is it set to true? 3. Search for mailnews.oauth.useSchemeRedirect is it set to false?
