Yahoo Authentication doesn't work for @yahoo.fr
I'm trying to help someone use thunderbird with their @yahoo.fr account.
Normal password doesn't work, same for using an app password from yahoo.
The only method is the one where it takes you to yahoo to input the account and password.
But it takes you always to yahoo.com, even if the language of the program is set to french!
Yahoo.com does not recognize a Yahoo.fr account, it has to be in the yahoo.fr website. But it never goes there...
How to solve this?

What happens if you try this: set the incoming IMAP server to imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 993, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 authentication, User Name = username@yahoo.fr; outgoing SMTP server to smtp.mail.yahoo.com, 465, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 authentication, User Name = username@yahoo.fr. Restart TB, enter the account (not app) password in the OAuth window to allow access. Cookies must be accepted in Settings/Privacy & Security.
@sfhowes No I have already tried that. The OAuth window opens, it just leads to yahoo.com and it says there the account does not exist.
If it doesn't work with OAuth2 + account password, or with normal password authentication + app password, I'm not sure why. Perhaps try the suggestion here to use export.imap.mail.yahoo.com for the incoming, with normal password authentication + app password, or possibly OAuth2 authentication + account password.
