Hi. I have just searched solutions but any of them work. I have Yahoo! account in my Thunderbird. Everything was working properly till I had to change my password. After this I cannot reference the OAuth2 to Thunderbird, TB ask me everytime to login but nothing happens. Also, I have the cookies for all sites enabled. But any cookie is saved in, I have checked the option for "Cookies" in "Privacy and Security -> Show Cookies" and no cookie from Yahoo is saved.

Could anyone tell me what can I do? As I tell you everything was working properly till I have to change the Yahoo password today.

Thanks and best regards

Hola, Puedes probar borrar las contraseñas de la cuenta con problemas en Preferencias->Privacidad y seguridad -> contraseñas guardadas y volverla a configurar en la configuración de la cuenta del Thunderbird Saludos

Hola Gerardo.

Ya lo hice cuando probé de todo y nada. Es que desde el popup de Yahoo!, donde pide usuario/contraseña, no pasa. Se cierra pero en el momento que chequeas para buscar nuevos mensajes (o enviar uno nuevo) vuelve a abrir la ventana del login de Yahoo! pidiendo usuario/contraseña. Y nunca se guarda la cookie, eso es lo raro, que es como que no hace nada. Y me ha pasado desde que cambié la contraseña esta mañana, antes iba perfectamente.

Saludos.

Hola. Gracias, Gerardo, finalmente lo he podido configurar con la "Contraseña para Aplicaciones", solamente que hay que cambiar el tipo de Autenticación de "OAuth2" a "Normal" y pegar la contraseña que te crea Yahoo!

No sé si puedo pegar enlaces pero, por si a alguien le pasa lo mismo, aquí un enlace para hacerlo.

Muchas gracias, marco el problema como solucionado.

Saludos
