Switched my yahoo webmail to the new Mail beta yesterday. I'm using
Thunderbird 3.1.6, Webmail 1.3.10& Webmail-Yahoo 1.4.7. When I
started up Thunderbird on my laptop in the evening I got the could not
sign on negative vibes message. This morning at work same thing. I
went and switched back the yahoo webmail to the current stable version
and all mail started flowing into Thunderbird with no problem.
Looks like Webmail-yahoo may need an update to be compatible with the
new Yahoo Mail beta

I have to chime in... Had the SAME issues with Yahoo when trying to put
the Thunderbird client on the church workstation. Put in extensions,
modified account settings, ad nauseum. Now the parish admin calls me
and says she is getting an error message that appears to indicate her
mail list has TOO MANY recipients. Pointed out to her that the church
is paying for a BellSouth account - It comes with their phone and
internet service , so why not just use that one. Don't know for sure
about the mail list thing. Handled this one over the phone.
She did; same mailing, same mail list, same SMTP server - and it went
through....
Doesn't ATT and Yahoo share a relationship? Think they are switching to
the Bellsouth Acct.
This is my only experience with Yahoo, but threw the phone company out
the door after Katrina took our landline to Havana.... No mo....
Also recommended that if they just had to have a "free" account, switch
to Gmail. Thunderbird picks it up without a fuss.
