Hello. I have a yahoo email address, but I receive all my emails on Thunderbird. When I set the Thunderbird account up all my settings were put in automatically by Thunderbird and everything worked fine. Since then, I have logged into my Yahoo account online and changed the password.....for security reasons. My Thunderbird account no longer works as it cannot retrieve my emails from Yahoo, and I cannot find how to change things in my Thunderbird account. Any ideas?

Nick.

Yahoo requires a different password when using an email client and requires OAUTH2 authentication. This URL may assist: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html
