Thunderbird will not download yahoo emails

Wayne Mery replied

Hello,

Everything working just fine last night. Wake up and Thunderbird will not retrieve emails.

Remembered this old message I got so I went through and deleted my second email address, didn't help.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo

Checked all settings compared to Yahoo, still won't download messages. I can even send a message with my current settings no problem, and it does login, just won't retrieve emails. Gives me a connection timeout.

Anyone have any ideas?

Still not getting emails over here. I deleted my regular password and my Oauth password after reading another thread but it didn't fix anything. My Oauth password is now saved again but it's not asking for my regular password anymore. Perhaps that's part of the problem?

Problem ended up fixing itself after a week. Not sure what happened, just started populating mail again.

A couple of weeks later it stopped working again, will no longer retrieve emails for the past two days.

Some help would be appreciated. Deleting and re adding my password did not work.

Is your provider yahoo? Do you have an antivirus program?; What is it?

Yes it is a Yahoo account. I don't run any active antivirus besides Windows.

I have 4 accounts set up. Today, they are a problem. One is a yahoo account. I can see emails on that account on my iPhone, but Tbird will not download them onto my computer. The problem also affects another account. It is a personalized account through gmail. My actual gmail account is getting messages, but seems to choke TBird; it tells me the gmail account is up to date, but then will not download messages from the other 3 accounts (this morning). As I was writing this, TBird downloaded a recent message into the personalized account but not the ones sent within the previous 2 hours (I can still see them on my iPhone, so I know about them).

Yes mine is having issues again today as well. Came back on around 5/13 or so and worked fine until today, now it won't load messages. Think that's a total of 3 down periods for me in the past month and a half. I'm really not sure why sometimes it's working fine and then other times it can't retrieve messages.

Came back for a couple of days, not it's down again. So working about 2/3 of the time total around.

It's now been down around 10 days. I'm done reaching for help here when I'm not getting any. I'll just stop using it now. Shame, used to be a great program.

Emails were coming in until about 2 hours ago and now stopped.

Solar7, you should post your own new question. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird

Yahoo frequently has problems.

If you are still having trouble...

Does problem change?
