You may need to 'allow less secure apps' in your Yahoo settings. https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN27791.html
The problem is that I cannot create a Thunderbird account. I haven't even reached the point of importing other emails. It keeps rejecting my proposer password.
Please follow the link to the Yahoo help page posted above and read it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1152557#answer-949185
The link returns to the same page I started.
Did you enable "less secure applications" at the Yahoo site?
What is/are "less secure applications"?
Try reading the thread again, starting from the top. Good luck.
