Thunderbird 52.2.1 mail exchange with Yahoo! accounts

[leishirsute]

Since yesterday (19 July) seems to be working fine
Nothing to change, nothing to add or modify, maybe it was a "glitch".
Hope it's over.

Good to know about the alternate access via att.net .
Don't know how permanent that will be.

yahoo.com is working for me.

I tried live chatting with frontier (they use yahoo for their e-mail) support. No help whatsoever (you'll have to contact Mozilla). I tried changing my password. That didn't help.

I have 3 email accounts at Frontier. Using Mozilla Thunderbird I can't log on to get my emails with just one of the accounts. I get a message: "Sending of password for user **Username Protected**@frontier.com did not succeed. Mail server pop3.frontier.com responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later." I can access this account by webmail. I online chatted with a tech but after a few things to check out, he wasn't able to help me, suggesting that I refer to Mozilla.

"Server error" typically means its a temporary problem with the mail server, not the email client. That also seems consistent with two of the Frontier accounts working. Its probably a host specific problem. Even though each account specifies the same mail server I suspect some of your accounts get mapped to different hosts.

I assume you are the author of https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Receiving/C ... d-p/309192

I searched the official Mozilla support forum, I couldn't find anything similar for Frontier. One of the posts did link to https://frontier.com/helpcenter/categor ... hunderbird which talks about using a app specific password with Thunderbird. Are you?

Yes I am the author at yahoo forum. I am not using a specific password for using Thunderbird.

You're right. It's working now.
