unable to set up multiple yahoo email addresses properly in thunderbird--all download emails from the same account
I am trying to set up 3 yahoo email addresses in Thunderbird for myself and my family. I was able to set up the first one (mine) successfully using Thunderbird's email setup wizard which uses Oauth, but when I try to set up their email addresses, for some reason it redirects the Oauth login to my email address, so even though my family's email addresses are set up, they end up downloading my emails, so all email addresses download the same emails. I have never experienced this problem before and hope someone can help.

Thank you for getting back to me. They all have unique Yahoo accounts. So when you set up an email address, Thunderbird will automatically take you that email address's log in screen. I was able to do that for the first email address, but when I did that for subsequent email addresses, Thunderbird still redirected me to the login for the first email address, if that makes sense. Anyway, after I reached out, I was able to figure out what the problem was: cookies. Once I removed cookies prior to setting up each new email address, Thunderbird had no problems redirecting me to the correct log in for each email address. So it's all good now. Our emails are all set up and everybody is happy. It wasn't a Yahoo problem as I originally thought, it was just a cookie problem!

Do they each have unique Yahoo accounts, or are they aliases from your account? I am unclear on what you mean by "it redirects the Oauth login..."
