Today my Thunderbird can no longer retrieve or send emails from my Yahoo account. I have tried everything including deleting the account and re setting it up on Thunderbird. When i try to do this it says invalid username or password. I have no problem using my Yahoo account through a browser or Android app. Have triple checked username, password, Yahoo settings accepting all apps etc.
