I need to know how to get my version of Thunderbird to receive emails. As of now, I can receive emails using another program (Yahoo), and can send emails using Thunderbird, but haven't been able to receive emails on my Thunderbird program since June 11, 2021. Thunderbird is an excellent email program, otherwise.

Greetings Firefox volunteer.

Is this a Yahoo account? First, check that you have the correct settings: imap.mail.yahoo.com on 993 or pop.mail.yahoo.com on 995, smtp.mail.yahoo.com on 465; SSL/TLS security, OAuth2 authentication, User Name = email address. State the antivirus and VPN if you have one.
