Hi, All was well until I restarted TB to the latest version: 102.4.0 (64-bit). Since then I have been unable to send emails via my pacbell (yahoo) account. I can receive them OK. I can send and receive when accessing my mail via the browser. Whenever I try to send or forward an email I get the following message:

Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.mail.yahoo.com. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'.

My password is correct because web access works OK. What can I do to resolve this issue?

Account 5 has the correct settings with OAuth2 authentication, but account 3 has 'normal password' authentication. Is that the pacbell account?

Hi,

I wasn't sure how to answer your question, so here's a screenshot of my accounts

Open Account Settings and look at the account with the pacbell address, and if it's using the yahoo servers, change the authentication on the incoming and outgoing to OAuth2, then restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth window.
