New emails not downloaded

Post by tommy2k7 »

For some reason, I have no new emails after 1.20am today in Thunderbird. The only emails that are coming through are the ones to the Amazon folder, but they are the same emails duplicated.
I have tried to repair the folders, deleted the .sqllite file, uninstalled and reinstalled (I have now got version 91.1.1.)
Yahoo Mail is working fine.
I don't know what to do now.

You'll have to clarify that. How do you know there were any messages for Thunderbird to receive? Are you looking at a web mail page?
the only emails that are coming through are the ones to the Amazon folder,
To what does that refer? What is "the Amazon folder"? Are you using an IMAP account and have a server folder named "Amazon"?
deleted the .sqllite file,
To what .sqlite file are you referring?
Yahoo Mail is working fine.
What does that mean? Are you referring to another account set up in Thunderbird or do you mean Yahoo web mail?

I use YahooMail and that is working fine.
The messages in the Amazon folder I created in Thunderbird has the emails, but they are the same and they are duplicates.
YahooMail is the only account I use with Thunderbird.

I'm going to assume that you are referring to checking that YahooMail account using a brwoser.

How is the account set up, as POP or IMAP? In Thunderbird the menu path is Tools->Account Settings->Server Settings->Server Type at the top right of the dialogue.

It is set up as a POP account.

Port 995

SSL / TLS
OAuth2.

I have also tried composing an email to myself, which appears on Yahoomail.co.uk, but not in Thunderbird!
