It gives me this error message, "Sending of password for user rshearin did not succeed. Mail server incoming.yahoo.verizon.net responded:"
I can log in on Yahoo fine but somehow the "sending of password" when popping email to Thunderbird quit working and I see no way of verifying or re-entering the password on Thunderbird...

have you enabled less secure apps in Yahoo options? It is their latest hurdle for those not accepting adds by using a mail client.

Where the I find the setting to change to "less secure apps"
...and I'm using Verizon's Yahoo mail.
I have no idea. perhaps verizon can tell you. This is all I know about less secure apps.

Based on the ATT disaster of using yahoo for mail. If you log into yahoo using your Verizon credential (full email address for user name) then yahoo will treat you as a yahoo user.
...and just like that, while I was on hold for Verizon Support, I started working as mysteriously as it stopped for 6+ hours this afternoon...
Go figure...
You will find Yahoo to be all fun. It must be good. The ATT honeymoon was no more than a couple of years and they dumped it. ATT users were like you mysterious failures followed by service resumption.
Really I think it is US ISP trying to get out of the email business. If it is bad enough no one will use it and they can quietly drop it like they did with NNTP Newsgroups.
