cant get smtp to work with multiple yahoo accounts
I can't get smtp to work with multiple yahoo accounts. When I get the account settings window, it shows the correct smtp server for yahoo. (smtp.mail.yahoo.com) but when I click on the edit SMTP button, there is a section called "Security and Authentication" section with 3 lines
Connection Security: [SSL/TLS]
Authentication Method : [0AUTH2]
User Name: [*****1@cox.net] (My accounts were transferred from COX to Yahoo)
If I edit the SMTP on any of my cox accounts, it changes them all to the same user name. If I want to send mail from any cox account, I have to go to account settings first and edit the smtp and put in the correct account. This is very tedious.
I have noticed that my gmail accounts do the same thing, but gmail doesn't care. Here is the error I get when sending mail before going to account settings first to change the account.
Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

There was no menu button ≡, so I did a print screen. I have attached the screen shot.
I created a different SMTP server name for each account. for example, for 3 accounts, when I used the edit smtp server I used something like in edit smtp server
yahoo 1
server name smtp.mail.yahoo.com
connection security ssl/tls
authentication OAuth2
username ******yahoo1@yahoo.com
yahoo 2
server name smtp.mail.yahoo.com
connection security ssl/tls
authentication OAuth2
username ******yahoo2@yahoo.com
Somethimes this works, but with many accounts I have used, it changes the server name to one of the previous accounts. Is there a limit on the number of accounts?
There was no menu button ≡, so I did a print screen.
Once again: At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button ≡ ...
