All I can do is tell you what settings I use. It may be useful for you to enable logging and note any messages in TB's Error Console. My settings are; Webmail 1.3.2. In webmail options POP is port 110, enabled at start up and SMTP is port 25 also enabled at start up I'm not using IMAP, so this is disabled. If you're using any type of Linux OS (including MAC) the port numbers need to be above 1024, for Windows the defaults work fine. Yahoo Add on 1.4.3. Mode is Beta (The matching new interface is selected on Yahoo mail's web site). POP, I have mark as read checked. Advanced; use short ID and re-use HTTP session data are selected. The settings in Thunderbird for the Yahoo account are; Server, Localhost port 110 (must match the port number in the main webmail add on). Username, my full Yahoo address. Thunderbird has a habit of only putting that part of the address before the @ here, when setting an account up you need to override this. Security, Never Outgoing server, Webmail Yahoo Localhost. Settings for outgoing server are; Description, Webmail Yahoo. You don't have to put a description in, but if you have more than one webmail account set up it's useful to be able to tell them apart. Name, Localhost. Port 25 (must match the port number in the main webmail add on). Security, Use username and password selected. Username, full email address. Use secure connection, No. I don't use the Hotmail extension any more since they allowed direct POP access, but as I recall the account and server settings were much the same as Yahoo. If this doesn't work, I would suggest clearing the messages in the error console and deleting or moving any existing logs created by the extensions. Then making one attempt to download mail so as to create a fresh set of error messages and logs relating to just this one attempt to download. Save the logs and note the error messages so as to be able to send them to Webmail Author if requested. If you wish, you can edit out any instances of your password contained in the logs before sending them. If all your settings are correct, then it may be that your firewall or other security software is interfering with the operation of the extensions. To those who understand these things, the error console and logs will show this.
