No longer able to receive or send emails via Thunderbird on my computer
Hello,
I've been using Thunderbird for a number of years on my Windows 10 computers (one at a time). I used to have my email hosted by Cox, but it moved to Yahoo a year or two ago. At that time, I changed my IMAP and SMTP servers from cox to yahoo.
Suddenly, the other day, I'm not longer able to send or receive email messages in Thunderbird. I can still send and receive at Yahoo.com.
Here's the setup that I've been using in Thunderbird:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server
Server - export.imap.mail.yahoo.com Port - 993 Requires SSL - Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port - 465 Requires SSL - Yes Requires authentication - Yes
When I click on my inbox, I get a dialog box that says:
"Login to server imap.mail.yahoo.com with username davidmorrison@cox.net failed."
Maybe I should set up another account, with my same name?
Appreciate any help you have!
PS: I DO donate every year or two to Thunderbird...
Thanks.
David Morrison

On July 31, my email stopped sending and receiving on Thunderbird. I get no error messages. I see new email on my phone (not Thunderbird) so my server settings appear to be correct. I can send and receive from Android phone and iPad but not my laptop using Thunderbird. Again, no error message, just no activity since 11:25 am on the 31st.

Here's the setup that I've been using in Thunderbird:
That appears to be the information from the Yahoo support web site, but it's somewhat outdated.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server Server - export.imap.mail.yahoo.com
The incoming server should be imap.mail.yahoo.com.
The correct server settings for Yahoo are: Incoming server: imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 993, Connection security: SSL/TLS, Authentication method: OAuth2 Outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port 465, Connection security: SSL/TLS, Authentication method: OAuth2
Note, as stated in the support article, for the OAuth authentication to succeed, you'll have to temporarily allow cookies in Thunderbird.
