hello! I am trying to add my yahoo account to Thunderbird. it keeps telling me the password is incorrect but I have no trouble accessing my account in a browser. I have checked and re-checked the info I am putting in Thunderbird many times, I typed it manually and I copied and pasted it, nothing is working.

Thank you.
