Hi Chris and Alan (and others who have taken the time to help me), Some welcome progress. I removed my yahoo account in Mozilla and created a new account using the New Account Setup dialogue with a Webmail option.
For the first time, I am now receiving a password prompt when I attempt to log on to my account on yahoo using Thunderbird. However, I receive the following error message: "Sending the username did not succeed. Mail server 127.0.0.1 responded: yahoo.com is an unsupported domain." but when I change the name of the server to Localhost, I receive the following error message: "Sending the username did not succeed. Mail server Localhost responded: yahoo.com is an unsupported domain." I appreciate your continuing assistance. Here are my settings: Account name [email protected] Email address [email protected] Server settings Server name Localhost User name [email protected] Leave messages on server Until I delete them Outgoing server settings Webmail - Localhost Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
