Thunderbird: yahoo.com email server fouling onnew account

#1 Post by boof »

gives server error only on new account logins, from abt 30 days ago. needs an update. v68.8.0 32bit. I do wish things would not keep changing, I cannot keep up. The mental load is too great.

Error yeah, but do they log you in anyway?

POP or IMAP? Which OS again, Bionic32? Do us all a favor and make that your signature.

no, login not possible, OAuth2 does not allow account registration. they;ve changed something, all old logins work. just 2 new ones don't. getting fed upwith ppl mucking arround for no obvious good reason. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Were these *new* accounts created with the same profile?
