Previously I was able to have two distinct Yahoo accounts on Thunderbird successfully. It appears that with the most recent update, Yahoo is inhibiting access to the second account that was added. Because of this, I have been unable to access that account on Thunderbird (Login to server imap.mail.yahoo.com failed.) Further, Yahoo notifies my account through its own server (via the CloudMail app I might add) that a signin attempt has been prevented because "the app doesn't meet Yahoo's security standards."

Any suggestions?

If Thunderbird is working for one and not the other it means only two possibilities.

1. Your using the wrong settings in Thunderbird

2. You settings are not correct on the yahoo server.
