Cox e-Mail Transitioned to Yahoo Mail
I have a Fastmail and 2 Cox addresses on rolled back Thunderbird 102. The Fastmail is IMap and both Cox addresses are POP 3. Cox is transitioning to Yahoo Mail, but we have kept our Cox addresses. I'm getting Yahoo mail web mail and think I should change the existing settings on Thunderbird and not create new accounts, but want to make sure. I saw something about Thunderbird and Yahoo and want to make sure I do it right or should use the third party setting for desktop clients that Cox provided for the transition. For me, the transition has not gone smoothly and I'm pretty frustrated. I am not a techie and any help in getting mail to the 2 Cox addresses landing in Thunderbird and the Fastmail continuing as is would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have seen this asked a few times. This post may prove helpful: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1446501#answer-1651121
and this one is somewhat generic: https://www.cox.com/residential/support/coxnet-email-transitioning-to-yahoo.html I hope you find some help in this.
Thank you. I think the second link might have been one I already had from Cox, so was trying to work with the first one:

It's been a long time since I worked with settings in Thunderbird and I want to make sure I'm changing the ones for the correct address I want to start with. If I start in the folder for the one I want to change, will this just be for that address? From ages ago, I have a memory of all accounts being listed in settings and one chose the account to be worked on. Which is correct?
I also had a problem in passwords since it seemed to include the fastmail address that is behaving like a champ and it's only the 2 Cox addresses that need changing. Thank you.
Yes, Thunderbird does not change multiple accounts together; it does them individually.
