I was trying to reset up my account in Thunderbird to solve the negative vibes problem, and was trying the ideas suggested about setting up POP in Thunderbird directly. It didn't work at first, and I tried IMAP for the method, and it seems like it works. I even get the folders from Yahoo now in Thunderbird. I'm no email expert, so I don't know what the ramifications are of this. I thought you had to use POP for Yahoo mail. Is this some new capability that we can now use for email in Thunderbird? Can anyone explain?
