How to load mail from a business account within a regular yahoo mail account?
My employer has a small business yahoo mail account that's paid for, to get to it, you login to his free yahoo mail account and select the other account to go to its inbox, etc. When I tried to use the password for the free account and the business username, it wouldn't verify on thunderbird. But when I use the free account and password, it only loads mail from that account, not the other one within it. We need to store his email on thunderbird to clear out and speed up his yahoo. I was wondering how to do this?

good thing Yahoo have instructions http://help.yahoo.com/l/in/yahoo/smallbusiness/bizmail/pop/pop-33.html
I am unable to understand these instructions well, and if at all possible want to play with thunderbird and not yahoo mail settings to achieve this result, is this possible?
It must be this week.
If you ring Yahoo on any phone number but theirs someone will probably answer the phone, but you will not get what you want from Yahoo. The same goes for mail settings. They decide what they are, you just slavishly copy them and use them. In whatever mail client your choose. There are not yahoo mail setting for Thunderbird and yahoo mail settings for outlook. ALL mail clients use the settings the server owner specifies. Not doing so results is a failure to connect to the server So it is not possible to use Thunderbird settings. They do not exist.
So if you can not follow the Yahoo instructions to locate your personal server settings (that is if they are required) then you have no choice but to ask Yahoo how to obtain that information.
So, in Thunderbird enter your email address and password in to the new account wizard. File menu (Alt+F) > New > existing mail account. allow the wizard to run and then enter the setting on the yahoo configuration page for server name port etc. The wizard has a space with the same names you can type your answers into
