Since 14 Jan 2016, I get this error (screenshot attached) saying Yahoo! Mail won't allow the connection and to alter my server settings.

I don't want to alter them - I want to 'leave on server'. I do not want emails to vanish from Yahoo! Mail server once downloaded to TB - online is my default but I use TB offline (no internet connection at home) to prepare emails etc for sending later. Until now, that has worked beautifully for me.

I'm running TB 38.5.1 so I don't think TB is the problem :)

right click the account, select setting and in the server settings turn off the features mentioned in the error message.
