Since I updated thunderbird our mail server (at verizon) is reject our password. It worked before the update. This has happened on 2 mail accounts with incoming.yahoo.verizon.net.

Also, thunderbird isn't asking to re-enter a password as it used to do and I don't see a way to reset it.

lots of Verizon folk here today. So my guess is they have bungled something. Given Yahoo mail is involved I am not really surprised.

perhaps your being required to use the yahoo less secure apps setting. Only you ISP would know. Good Luck
