This just started October 30th. I am running Thunderbird 140.4.0esr (64-bit) on a Windows 11 Pro 24H2 on a PC and Laptop. Thunderbird email can no longer access my Yahoo Mail Plus account and I get a pop up windows stating Edge: Too many requests several times. I tried deleting the account and trying to reinstalling it back in but I get a error message in yellow pop up box in the account page stating "incorrect password or username". I have also tried to generate a tried party app password in Yahoo mail Plus web client and using that in place of my regular password with the same error message. I can no longer add this account into Thunderbird and I am not able to use my Yahoo mail plus account. This has occurred on both my PC and Laptop. I am fairly certain this has to due with Yahoo Mail's new security policies. I have checked the current setting are correct according to the latest FAQ & Help articles and see many others just starting see this same issue. Please provide me with solution so I can resolve this issue.

If you have been using the product for some time, why are you trying to add it again?

This has fixed it for many:

First, generate an app PW - see https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html.

Then go to TB menu > Account Settings > Server Settings and set the following:

- Server Name: export.imap.mail.yahoo.com - Port: 993 - Connection Security: SSL/TLS - Authentication method: Normal password

On the left column, scroll down and click 'Outgoing Server' and edit the Yahoo entry:

- Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com - Port: 465 or 587 - Connection Security: SSL/TLS - Authentication method: Normal password

Finally, go to TB menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Passwords

- click the 'Saved Passwords' button and edit the Yahoo entry to add your new app PW

After that's done, try logging in.

BTW, this fix is mentioned in the related [bug](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1997062).
