Outgoing email has stopped working
I have a number of accounts setup in Thunderbird, some are gmail accounts and some are Yahoo accounts.
After the last Thunderbird release one, a couple days ago, of my Yahoo accounts stopped working and wanted me to authentic it. It pops up with a Yahoo window to login. I tried to login with my username and password which didn't work so I went into Yahoo and created a new app password and tried that. It won't work either. I just get the message, something went wrong.
Then my other Yahoo account stopped sending out emails, just get a connection timeout message. Now my gmail accounts won't send out emails either. I can receive incoming emails, but not send out emails.
This is the message that I get when trying to send out an email now:
Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again.
I have searched and checked that my Outgoing server settings are correct for both Yahoo and Gmail. I have a different outgoing server for each email account and they have different unique description names. Cookies are enabled, accept cookies from third-party sites is set to Always. I had Auto-detect proxy settings, have now tried No Proxy.
I am using Microsoft Defender for my virus protection.
This is how my Outgoing Gmail SMTP settings are set: Description: Gmail - xxx@xxx.com Server Name: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Username: xxx@xxx.com Authentication method: OAuth2 Connection Security: SSL/TLS
This is how my Outgoing Yahoo SMTP settings are set: Description: Yahoo SMTP - yyy@yahoo.com Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port: 465 Username: xxx@yahoo.com Authentication method: OAuth2 Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Any ideas of what else to try would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
I turns out that sending of mail seemed to be blocked when the Yahoo login popup was up. When the popup was closed, then sending of mail worked again.
But still have the issue that I can't login to Yahoo in the popup for the 1 email account.
