I had to update the general password on old computer for access to att/yahoo mail. I set up a secure mail key and finally got Thunderbird to work on old computer. I am unable to complete account setup on new computer. I get a yellow block message which states unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password. I know the configuration is correct since it is the same as old computer. Not sure how to correct this problem.

I know little about Yahoo, but this info may help: Yahoo requires a different password when using an email client and requires OAUTH2 authentication. This URL may assist: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html
