Hi guys! I'm using THUNDERBIRD for many decades with great success BUT once in awhile, a crazy Program (like this time the Microsoft's 'SKYPE') screws my Email RECEIVING/SENDING function of THUNDERBIRD. Here are some details re my issues: - I've just completed installation of SKYPE Software Update (Microsoft), and shortly after that the RECEIVING/SENDING function stopped working (!!!) while the SERVER has started asking repeatedly for re-entering my Password: I've done it several times trying most recent & updated Passwords BUT they have been refused all to accept them by the SERVER and considered as 'invalid Passwords' - and I'm at the END of OPTIONS now... I'm running WIN-10, and using MOZILLA-recommended POP3 as POP Mail Server, and Normal password as well as QAuth2 'Authentication' settings - and SMTP OUTGOING SERVER as 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com' and also tried 'smtp.mail.frontier.com' setting however ---> NOTHING WORKED! - also try to use the Back-up copy of Bookmarks (dated approx 2 weeks BEFORE this problem has developed: by the way DOES ANYONE KNOWS if the Back-up copy of Bookmarks also SAVES the Passwords & other critical Thunderbird's settings ...?!? Any earlier help to resolve this issue from anyone would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

NOTE: Please keep in mind to leave any advice & suggestions at this Forum because my RECEIVING/SENDING function is NOT working ...

Hi anybody, I'm very disappointed that nobody has any advice AND YET - this is a NOTORIOUS issue seriously interfering with RECEIVING/SENDING Email-messages of many users of an otherwise very useful Thunderbird Email Program ...!

I'm attaching a screenshot with the constant error-messages - just in case anybody could offer some advice/help with this issue ...- thanks! Tony H.

Hi sfhowes: Have you received the reply from me? ... if not, then I'm preparing a message to you and will send it shortly ...! Unfortunately - have tried ABUNDANCE of Options within the PAST 5 CONTINUOUS DAYS but so far everything FAILED without obtaining any help! Your further follow up and suggesting for next steps would be greatly appreciated - thanks, Tony H.

PS: did you have view my screenshot of the Server's error message - any suggestion or explanations?
