Yahoo 3rd party app password
Yahoo is taking over Frontier email and we are supposed to use a third party app password generated by Yahoo to continue using Thunderbird. I have their generated password but it ways to "sign out" of Thunderbird and sign in again using that password, but I can't find how to sign out of Thunderbird to do that. Also, does this have to be done for every email in Thunderbird or just once for the app? Will any of my stored emails and folders be affected or lost? There are no clear explanations for Thunderbird in the Yahoo information.

My experience is Yahoo write misleading and often plain incorrect instructions. They tend to tell folk to delete accounts in mail applications so we see loads of folk here that lost all the mail that used to hang in the folder pane under the account they deleted.
However as I have no idea what your instructions say, I am guessing. Perhaps you could post a link to the instructions.
