I successfully edited my Yahoo mail account password in Thunderbird, in preferences, after first changing it on the server. Yet, when I try to get my mail now, I get this message:

"Sending of password for user taksu2004 did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: Server error - Please try again later". (See image)

I can successfully log on to the yahoo web site, but Thunderbird does not seems to be working with my new password change. Can somebody please help? Txs.
