Unable to use Two Yahoo accounts in Thunderbird Latest Version 148

In the latest version 148, the moment I enter the login credentials for a second Yahoo account and click continue, Thunderbird simply copies the mail folders from the first Yahoo account and does not show the mails/folders for the second yahoo account. This is despite the fact that Thunderbird displays the correct name for the second Yahoo account as well as the correct username for the second Yahoo account in the account settings. I have tried: 1. Setting the 'mailnews.oauth.usePrivateBrowser" to True in the Config Editor. 2. Deleting and adding the second Yahoo account after restart of Thunderbird as well as restart of the PC. 3. Manually configuring the account settings while adding the second Yahoo account.

Please advise what else I can try. Thanks and Regards
