Up until 1:30pm Friday, 12 March -- now I cannot connect with the Yahoo server. I get the following message -

Sending of password for user skdixon@bellsouth.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.att.yahoo.com responded: Server error - Please try again later.

I tried Outlook and my phone and get the same message.

I can however use my browser to check email. I'd rather use my email client.

My wife who also uses Thunderbird is able to connect without problems to the yahoo server. I suspect the server where my account is hosted may be having issues.

I did have a secure key. However, it apparently was corrupted. I deleted it, created a new one and used the new key when prompted to enter my password. Works fine now. Thank you.
