My emails in my inbox (yahoo imap) have disappeared after starting thunderbird. They still appear on Yahoo web mail. Because of problems at Yahoo.

After launching Thunderbird, my yahoo inbox lost all 2015 activity and most 2014. However, my emails are visible if using the yahoo web mail. I tried the repair folder option, but that did not work. Should I delete the yahoo imap file and start anew?

No. Just restart Thunderbird, and most likely it will start to download your missing messages. The problem is most likely with Yahoo. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1064476

@christ1, thanks for the reply. The problem was indeed Yahoo... other email clients configured for IMAP, responded the same way. Each folder would limit emails to exactly 200. I'm guessing someone forgot to remove testing settings when an update was moved into production.
