I have personally checked all of my settings and my computer techs have as well. All good. The techies tell me that my internet provider must be "doing something". My internet provider is Frontier, frontiernet.net, now owned by Yahoo, and they will not even discuss Thunderbird with me. I don't think they are allowed to do so. At any rate, I can access my Thunderbird account but this is what I get when I try to retrieve emails: "Sending of password for user ccselavy@frontiernet.net did not succeed. Mail server pop3.frontier.com responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later." It's been three weeks of trying again later. Please help! Thanks, loyal fan of Thunderbird

Can you access your email directly from the Yahoo web mail site? Bypass TB entirely, and access the Yahoo web mail with a browser window.

It not a good final solution for me (I hate webmail), but the results of doing that test could be very helpful diagnostically.
