Yahoo mail box came up asking to update security, foolishly I ticked the box, later when I tried to access my email accounts through thunderbird a box popped up asking to enter a password. Which was not recognised, I then changed my yahoo password, still the same result with thunderbird. I have tried to contact yahoo by email but as yet no responce. Do you know of any remerdy.
