Can't login to Yahoo imap. It's all Yahoo's fault, but I still can't login
"get messages" brings up alert: login to server imap.mail.yahoo.com with username jwtm@sbcglobal.net failed. There is extensive help available here and there on the Web, and it comes down to instructing Yahoo to allow "less secure" apps to connect. However, all the links into Yahoo Account Settings to actually do this are broken. I'm suspecting the latest merger changed some key URLs. Does anyone know, step by step, how to do this?
Ironical isn't it that as the error alert is modal there is no way to copy the exact text to this message. Fortunately paper still exists.

You can try to set 'Authentication type' to 'OAuth2' in your Thunderbird server settings for the Yahoo account. Do this for both, incoming (IMAP), and outgoing (SMTP) servers.

Bingo! My previous version of Thunderbird didn't have that option, and I completely missed it in the new. I wouldn't have known to select it anyway. Thanks much.
