When starting Thunderbird, the status line shows logging in to server but loops; no errors, Thunderbird is 'locked out' waiitng/spinning.
The system was working fine. The next day, when starting Thunderbird (TB, the status line shows logging in to server but loops; no errors or messages, Thunderbird is 'locked out' spinning. I see the normal INBOX page, but logging in never completes. NO CHANGES were made to TB accounts or settings. I have re-installed TB, re-booted, but no change. I cannot check/change any of the accounts or do any further 'debugging' because TB is spinning. The server login is fine because Webmail can be used. Internet connection is fine, because browser works. 1. How can I stop TB from trying to login at start up? 2. What could/would cause this behaviour?
Any suggestions much appreciated.

in what I'm sure is the right profile (gpsqti12.Al, which shows in the Profile Manager as 'Al') I see the Mail folder, and within that the Local Folders folder. Per your last reply, the ONLY account 'server settings' shows pop.mail.yahoo.com with Port 995 (the default) so that looks right. Also in the Local Folders, I see what appears to be the missing Messages. However, I also see almost all of the Messages with a preceding "." then the (almost) same list of Messages WITHOUT the preceding "." Within the Mail folder, I also see: - Local Folders-1 - pop.mail.yahoo.com - pop.mail.yahoo-1.com - pop.mail.yahoo-2.com
I'm guessing (hoping?) that all my manipulations have doubled up the Messages? Why would I see the other Local Folders-1 and the 2 extra pop.mail.yahoo server names?
In any case, TB still comes up as expected, downloads new messages (to Inbox) from the server but the only Local Folders are Trash and Outbox. There are now a few thousand Inbox messages (expected: Messages this 'new' account hasn't seen and new ones coming in). The Local Folders only show Trash and Outbox.
I believe 'we' are getting close but not quite there yet. Anything further appreciated - thanks.
Ed: One more thing I just noticed that may answer some of my previous reply questions...
In the Account Settings, I see the 'Message Storage' Local Directory is as expected, ending in: gpsqti12.Al\Mail\pop.mail.yahoo-2.com
Same question - Why are there 3 pop.mail.yahoo??.com servers if only the -2 is being used?

I'm not sure, but it's not uncommon for something like that to happen.
What's in Local Folders-1?
"Also in the Local Folders, I see what appears to be the missing Messages."
Just lots of messages not in subfolders, along with - Local Folders-1, pop.mail.yahoo.com, pop.mail.yahoo-1.com, and pop.mail.yahoo-2.com? If so,
I don't know what the .xxx messages are, or where they came from.
