The last new email I've received on Thunderbird for one of my accounts was on 5/13/2026 at 12:02 p.m. Every time I open thunderbird it tries to re-download the entire yahoomail account and times out. I have deleted all emails from the yahoo mail box from 5/13 and backwards. All spam emails have been deleted and the trash can has been emptied. Per online instructions I have also deleted the popstate.dat file, tried to repair the inbox file by right clicking on it, going to properties and clicking repair folder. I also tried to compact the folders, and have turned off my virus protection and nothing seems to be working. I also tried a new app generated password from yahoo. Current setup is pop.mail.yahoo.com port 995 SSL/TLS, authentication method = normal password. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

For 'Authentication method' use 'OAuth2' in your account settings. And use your main account password, not an app password. Also make sure cookies are allowed in Thunderbird before attempting to authenticate.
