Dears since yesterday i cannot download yahoo mails to thunderbird on my windows computer. when thunderbird gets new messages, a window pops up asking me for yahoo account name and password. when entered yahoo gives the following message: " Something went wrong. We could not sign you in. Try again from a different device." i use thunderbird 148.0 on windows 11 (out of china, with Astrill VPN - all other websites work normally with VPN). i have three different yahoo accounts, the first time thunderbird asked yahoo first mail and authentification went through, but it does not go through for the remaining two accounts. i verified that OAuth2 is set up for all accounts. password is correct (as i can still receive emails on iphone mail app). cookies can be accepted without any exceptions, can see the whole OAuth2 dialog panel. i did all steps for setting multiple accounts. i verified all accounts for POP and STMP server settings. also mailnews.oauth.usePrivateBrowser set to TRUE. After all this, it still does not work (i also restarted thunderbird and the computer), what else can i do? Regards Violaine
