Successful Email transition to Yahoo: using Thunderbird on Windows

After spending a good deal of time and effort trying to make Thunderbird get along with Yahoo, I finally figured it out. If you are reading this, you have probably already called Cox only to find out...

That happened to me too. What I did was, after changing the servers for incoming and outgoing I closed TB and reopened. When I went back to the settings OAuth2 was available.

nchw68  Thanks for the help.  I now have OAuth2.  I'm still not quite there yet.  I also am using TB version 115.10.0.  I went back and looked at your prior post where you said that you deleted the COX account and added it again.  I don't quite understand from where you deleted and added the COX account.  In that process did you lose any emails when you deleted the account?  My failure to understand may be due to age.  I'm well past the average age of male life expectancy here in the US.  So again, I greatly appreciate your help,

    I deleted it from within TB. I did not delete it from Yahoo. I had no emails saved so I had no emails to lose. Your emails should also be available on Yahoo mail online if you sign in with your COX email address.

      BTW, it's no bother.
