I am not able to send emails for two yahoo accounts where I was able to before. I keep getting the message "login failed" with the widow asking to retry, enter in a new password or cancel. I have even copied my password from several places into this window and I still get the same login failed. I have logged into yahoo to see if I was able to send from a browser and had not issues. I have tried changing my password in yahoo and changing them in Thunderbird and that didn't work, I have checked my stmp settings and nothing is wrong there that I can see. I don't know what the issue is or how to fix it. I am able to send emails from other accounts, but not yahoo. Please help

This is almost certainly a Yahoo problem. It eventually works again by now. Complain to Yahoo.

Thank you Christ1. I have already tried to contact Yahoo regarding this problem and have been unsuccessful. I went through all of there trouble shooting suggestion and such. Yesterday after confirming everything was correct I tried to send an email using one of my accounts. Still same problem, however I went to my account settings and deleted one of my accounts and re-added it back in. Then tried to send again. Same problem, however this time I kept clicking on the retry button over and over and over. Finally after timing out twice and re-sending a third it went through. Went to my other account (which is where i sent it to) and replied to it and after two retries it was sent. Soooo I don't know what the exact cause or answer but I'm able to send now with both. Thanks for responding and trying to help.

Two issues.

!. disable any anti virus scanning of mail... make sure the AV product has no software fire wall that blocks mail ports or protocols. (some assume only browser pports are required.

2. Are the account set up using oAuth2.0 or normal password.

oAuth is new in TB 60 and not available in earlier versions, It should work with less drama than we have seen over the past 12 months with normal passwords and the auth inc mess. that was yahoo.
