Newly added yahoo mail account won't show up in folders pane. Shows in account settings. I get popup notification that T'bird has received mail for that account. But can't see mail, or any other indication the account exists when in mail mode.

Have removed acc't and recreated it several times.

Need new email due to changing ISP. Tried outlook.com but got message that account authenticated but not opened. After fighting with that problem switched to Yahoo and ran into this.

ImapMail\imap.mail.yahoo.com folder is empty. No sub-folders were created.

What is the exact error message when you tried outlook dot com? If the error message is "User is authenticated but not connected", then the following link might be helpful: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1473104#answer-1712116
