have not been able to send or receive emails for 4 days now!!! (yahoo oauth)
A: All these problems started after the new email version was installed, in-other-words, when the old version was updated! B: All of my email that was in my account / on my computer seem to be be there as far as I can tell. I can get to them, I can open them and see their contents. C: All is ok up til this point...as mentioned above and no new email has arrived. D: Now, as soon as I click on the "Get Messages" (Icon, looks like a cloud) in the upper left corner, is when I the Yahoo page of some sort pops on the screen, that's it. No mail arrives and I'm stuck with the Yahoo page covering most of the screen. E: I can click click around and try entering my email address but when I click on F: I see that images can be attached, and hope it works. My screen are,1920 x 1080, so I'll try and reduce the size of the images when I attach them. G: (Image A) After I inter my email address the red wording pops up.
(Image B) My email address pops up. That's it. Sometimes, If I click around a second page will pop up and
it becomes vicious circle and normally going back to the first page. (Note: A image) [about:blank] ??? Other pages have an address??? H. In these 4 days I have changed, added, deleted, used my Mozilla Reset Key, and this morning, per Mozilla's - Thunderbird's request, created another Reset key. Still no email. I do believe If this Yahoo thing was gone my email might start, just a guess now. H. Will all of the email that has not arrive still be available?? I. Almost forgot to mention. I receive and send my email through Thunderbird, and Yahoo & AT&T. Thanks, Bob Miller And, "Yes" please email or call, anytime day or night. I am getting a few emails on my phone. miller.485@sbcglobal.net
P.S...."Somethings Wrong" :-( Again, thanks for your help!

Are you still using a Pop account ?
If yes then have you recently changed your password when you logon to see the webmail account via a browser ? If you have switched on 2 step verification in webmail account then switch it off because OAuth does not need it.
Check you have the following settings for the POP yahoo account.
In Thunderbird
- Account Settings
- Select 'Server Settings' for yahoo account
- Server TYpe: Pop Mail Server
- Server name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
- Port : 995
- User Name = full email address
- Connection Security: SSL/TLS
- Authentication method: OAuth2
In left pane Select account name Bottom right click on 'Edit SMTP_Server' button
- Description: type email address
- Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
- Port: 465
- Connection Security: SSL/TLS
- Authentication method: OAuth2
- User Name = full email address
- click on 'OK'
- In 'Settings' > 'Privacy & Security'
WEb Content:
- Select checkbox 'Accept cookies from sites'
- Scroll down to passwords section
- click on 'Saved Passwords' button
- click on 'Show Passwords' button
- For any line which is associated with that yahoo account - eg: lines that start with mailbox://yahoo account etc, smtp://yahoo account...oauth://yahoo account - Remove all of them.
Restart Thunderbird
You will get a pop up from yahoo asking for email address and password - same password you use to access webmail. Then click on 'Next' and it will probably ask you to allow Thunderbird access which obviously you need to do. Yahoo is verifying that you really are you and wants you to follow instructions to allow Thunderbird access to server.
A new Oauth token gets stored in Thunderbird passwords area and then Thunderbird can use it to access server.
