Suddenly "Authorization failed" on 1 of 4 accounts
After Tbird did its update to Ver 146.2.1 ESR (32 bit), I cannot receive nor send email from 1 of my 3 accounts. Of course, that is my main account. Murphy's law. When I click on "get messages" it takes a long time, cycles through all accounts, then freezes, not always at same point. I can see all my not yet downloaded email on Yahoo. Sometimes the error msg is "password" and I changed that. Sometimes the msg relates to SMTP. But my settings seem OK. I did the usual, rebooted Tbird, rebooted the PC, Tbird troubleshooting was of no use either.
Any ideas????

It solved itself overnight. Working now after password verification. Never got to that point of verifying my PW yesterday. Tbird authentication just froze.

what are you settings? They are not secret and are shared by all Yahoo users, so what one person has issues it is usually something to do with those settings not the application or yahoo.
