Hi. Yesterday I started getting a error saying TB could not connect to server (enter password). TB has been working ok for ages nothing has been changed (user name/password). I had read about adding OAuth2 to setting but cannot see this option in the dropdown box for connections. I have aske TB to test connection both in/out going and it tells me it can connect. I have added 3 screen shots. I can still send and receive emails via Yahoo web page and using mobil phone. thanks

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Sky.com email accounts are powered and hosted by Yahoo Mail. While the email addresses end in @sky.com, the underlying technical infrastructure—including the inbox interface, servers, and spam filtering—is provided by Yahoo. Therefore you'll have to adjust the server names to the Yahoo servers, and turn on OAuth2 authentication. See https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo for details.
