Yahoo Mail was down for HOURS last night. When it comes back up overnight, I can login to my secondary emails (Yahoo.com) but the correct password for rshearin@verizon.net responds "server error"

Yahoo washes their hands of it because it's a "third party app."

Yahoo lost their "one time" passwords during their outage and then refused to tell you why you were having problems with your pop account unless you were a member of the $4.99 a month support plan. You had to generate another one on your website account and the use that to create a new one time login on Thunderbird.
