Windows 11 Thunderbird and Yahoo mail issue

[4dog]

5. Since you mentioned Yahoo, here is my story.

A year or two ago, my 15-year-old ATT.NET account, handled by Yahoo, started telling me that I had made too many login attempts and that I had no choice but to reset my password. I could do that, going through some screens that seemed to be telling me lies, resetting it repeatedly to the old password on desktop, phone, and laptop. This could happen several times a week. Much discussion dating back some years on Apple forums, no real apparent resolution. My wife with similar history never had this problem. Eventually, my present semiworking but much better solution is to use a different browser to access the Yahoo/ATT account via web mail and Apple mail to access my icloud and google mail accounts. All I have to do is dismiss requests to update my password from my client.

On trying a different browser or client: I would start with Microsoft products and or go to forums to see what people like. Most of them work, you will discover your preferences.

Yes, "improvements" are a time sink.
