I recently purchased a new computer and want to setup thunderbird to use my att yahoo mail account When at&t was trying unsuccessfully to help me, their fix was to set up a secure mail key. I went through the automatic process and got an incorrect information message
I tried yahoo's instructions and they don't match what shows up in the account setup in thunderbird So, apparently oauth is available for the old inbound.att.net servers as well I am stuck and need some step by step instructions to set this up.
Several days ago tb daily started asking for my att (yahoo) password Tb initially rejected my password but i did forgot password and added exactly the same password back since it was working on att (yahoo) web mail. Created a the secure mail key Sent test email, entered the key when prompted for password, and the mail was sent
However, i'm still not getting incoming mail I checked the saved passwords box It seems to be empty Everything is greyed out, so i can't enter or delete anything
I spoke with an att support representative who said yahoo/att has a global mail server problem that began about 4 months ago Thunderbird won't login to att yahoo mail (with new suggested settings and oauth2 password) 2 replies 2 have this problem 91 views last reply by szappanos 5 years ago I've seen variations of this problem a lot Emails from my att/yahoo account have not downloaded on thunderbird since october
Pop mail server, sever name Normal password (although a secure mail code is being used and oauth2 would not work). Thunderbird can be used as a client for an at&t email account Thunderbird will download messages from the at&t server and store them on your local system.
