What wasn't successful? It wouldn't create an app password? It didn't work when you tried using it in Thunderbird? More information please. How did you try entering it in Thunderbird? Copy and paste from a web- browser into Thunderbird, retyped it, actually used Thunderbird to create the app password? > Is there another email app that people are successfully accessing > yahoo mail? I'm using Evolution. Occasionally access to Yahoo would fail, with no good reason, nor explanation. Nor any advance warning that they were changing anything. The usual problem was that they were forcing a password change on me, for reasons unspecified. A *wild* *guess* might be that they got compromised, won't admit it, and just forced everyone to change credentials. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
