Can't download Yahoo mail - EDGE: Too many requests (bug1997062)
Since last week, I can't get the mail or send mail through yahoo mail using IMAP in Thunderbird. There is no problem in the past just recently.

This has fixed it for many:
First, generate an app PW - see https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html.
Then go to TB menu > Account Settings > Server Settings and set the following:
- Server Name: export.imap.mail.yahoo.com - Port: 993 - Connection Security: SSL/TLS - Authentication method: Normal password
On the left column, scroll down and click 'Outgoing Server' and edit the Yahoo entry:
- Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com - Port: 465 or 587 - Connection Security: SSL/TLS - Authentication method: Normal password
Finally, go to TB menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Passwords
- click the 'Saved Passwords' button and edit the Yahoo entry to add your new app PW
After that's done, try logging in.
BTW, this fix is mentioned in the related [bug](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1997062).
Perfect! This worked for me.
