How to set up Yahoo! services in Thunderbird.

{warning}Starting with version 147, Thunderbird is switching to a more secure login system for Yahoo, AT&T and AOL provided email accounts, so you may have seen an alert "Upcoming Account Change". '''You don't need to change anything. But when Thunderbird first fetches your email, as you have in the past, simply provide your email account and password, and then confirm that Thunderbird may access data on the provider's servers.''' If you need more information see OAuth2 Authentication below.{/warning} Mail providers that use Yahoo services such as AT&T and AOL have the same requirements as Yahoo, and so the authentication portion of this article applies to users of these mail providers. __TOC__ = OAuth2 Authentication = OAuth2 is the default authentication choice for accessing Yahoo provided services (and providers like AOL and AT&T). The provider (not Thunderbird) presents you first with their dialog to confirm your account name and password, followed by their dialog to authorize which data types Thunderbird will be permitted to use. An access token sent from your provider (a string of characters, not your password) is then stored in Thunderbird's password store to allow future access to the server. Tokens eventually expire, at which time you must again provide your account information with password. If you do not know your password, then you must use your provider's account pages in a web browser to create a new password, often called a "password reset". This authentication method is automatically configured on first access for both sending and receiving email (in Account Settings), and for accessing calendars and contacts in the respective settings of Thunderbird. OAuth2 also requires javascript and cookies, which are enabled by default in Thunderbird.

See [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/sln27791.html this Yahoo support page] for instructions.<br> Update: please read section 'Important Changes to Authentication Method Notice' below. In Thunderbird version 68.5 and up you can change the POP server to pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 995). == Important Changes to Authentication Method Notice == If you currently have a POP or IMAP mail account in Thunderbird and receive an email from Yahoo that says: <br> <i>"We’ve noticed that you’re using non-Yahoo applications (such as third-party email,calendar, or contact applications) that may use a less secure sign-in method. To protect you and your data, Yahoo will no longer support the current sign-in functionality in your application starting on 20 October 2020.
