Can't download mail from yahoo
All of a sudden, all my folders except the Inbox are gone, and I cannot import my mail from ATT/Yahoo using IMAP, as I have been doing for about a month after switching from POP mail.
I get the attached error message when trying to access my yahoo mail:
Things I tried without success:
1. uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird.
2. Backed up Profile folder and removed the account from Thunderbird. Re-added the account.
I was able to send an outgoing message, but cannot retrieve mail.
Any help would be appreciated.

You should talk to Yahoo.
For some reason, AT&T/Yahoo mail started working again. Interesting that when I called AT&T Support, they denied that AT&T was using Yahoo mail! Big help....
Perhaps from an upgrade, the missing folders were actually hidden from view via a setting that I was able to reverse from the menu bar on top - this was new to me even after using T-Bord for at least a decade. Never thought to look at that setting earlier.

After posting this request for help, everything reappeared this morning, wih no action on my part, not even a system reboot. (After 3 days of being out of service).
Hey, it's Halloween, maybe the ghouls at Yahoo are otherwise occupied.
