I can not down load Emails from Yahoo to Thunderbird. Every things was fine as of Aug 26th. On Aug 27th with no changes to any system settings the Yahoo Emails would not down Load. I am running Win 10 on my system. I disabled the antivirus. Reloaded Thunderbird - no effect.

I have since deleted Thunderbird and then reinstalled latest version of Thunderbird (154.0) . I re-entered my password. I checked the OAuth2 settings and they are set as described in the support article "OAuth2 Authentication for Yahoo, AOL and ATT".

Message bar at bottom of Thunderbird screen shows: Myaccountname@yahoo.com:Downloading message 1 of 7 The emails do not down load - then after a few minutes - a no messages to download message flashes and then blank - nothing

I am out of Ideas. Anyone?

The downloads still hang-up sometimes. The Thunderbird screen shows the emails trying to load, but the emails do not move. I have since set every setting in Yahoo mail to the most basic settings I can. No sorting of any kind. This looks to have helped. I have also set thunderbird to not automatically download emails. I manually download emails. The changes helped. I have come to the conclusion that the problem appears to be with Yahoo. The changes they have made to their email setup seams to be the culprit. This last week the emails have been loading with no problems so far.

Thanks for posting your results.

One more thing to check - what does update history show at Help > Troubleshooting Information? Was Thunderbird updated on Aug 27?
