ნუ გაებმებით თაღლითების მახეში. აქ არავინ უნდა მოგთხოვოთ ტელეფონზე დარეკვა, შეტყობინების გაგზავნა ან პირადი მონაცემების გაზიარება. რამე საეჭვოს შემჩნევისას გთხოვთ გვაცნობოთ „დარღვევის მოხსენებით“.

I have Thunderbird Version 140.8.1esr | Released March 10, 2026 on windows 11. The problem started 2 days ago when I couldn't receive emails on desk top or the iPhone. I looked on the web to see why I wasn't getting mail on my @yahoo.com mail. The web showed that yahoo had trouble in the eastern US. Not knowing what to do I deleted the email on my iPhone and tried to reinstall it, but couldn't. I didn't have the email password. (The one I had saved wasn't accepted.) I don't know how I got email back on the desk top, but it is working now. I think if I can change the email password on the desk top I can then reinstall it on the iPhone. On another computer on the same WiFi which has a g-mail address also using Thunderbird there was no problem getting mail.

Yahoo used the oauth authentication method. That uses a token to connect, not your password. The password is only used the first time when you enter it into a web page to authorize the issuing of the token and it is not stored or saved in Thunderbird. So there is nothing stored in Thunderbird that even looks like it might be your Yahoo password any longer.
