IMAP version of Thunderbird for Sonoma 14.5 MacBook Air

Thunderbird Installation and updates

Hi, David replied to my original question as to why the Folders are not loading off the Yahoo server onto a new computer as they are on my old computer.

The Thunderbird version on the OLD computer utilises a IMAP Mail Server. The version I downloaded yesterday and installed on this new computer utilises a POP Mail Server with no option I can see to change this. Screen Capture attached.

So Presumably I need the IMAP Mail Server version of the App. If I'm correct where would I download it from?

Thank you and kind regards, Mark.

I can answer my own question here if it helps anybody else.

Somewhere I found dialogue that allowed Thunderbird to 'Look Up' the configuration of my yahoo account, once that was done everything was sorted out and the folders where all there.

I searched again but was unable to find that dialouge, but I had manually changed the Server Name to the same as on the old computer I.E: imap.mail.yahoo.com. Maybe that had to be done first.
