I just changed my Yahoo password and now when I log into TB I get the
warning "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server
pop.bizmail.yahoo.com responded: Incorrect username or password", and
a prompt to enter the new password, and when I do, I just get the same
warning over and over. I can log in direct at yahoo, and my iphone
updated OK, but TB is no go. How do I get access to my email again???

Are you using the webmail and yahoo extensions? If so then the mail needs to be either "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" for the extensions to work. Also your bizmail domain needs to be added to yahoo list of supported domains.
Currently the account is setup as a pop3 account. You can try deleting the saved password this pop3 account. Look under Tools>Options>Security>Passwords>Saved Passwords
