Sorry, but you are not using the Webmail extensions in any way. You
have set yourself up to use regular POP/SMTP services of Yahoo.

In most areas outside of the US Yahoo does provide free access to to
its POP and SMTP servers. I admit that I do not know if this is true
in Canada.

If you want to use the Yahoo Webmail extension then you must follow
the rules and for the server there are 2 and only 2 valid settings:

Localhost
127.0.0.1 (the numeric equivalent of Localhost)

If you do not select one of these as your server setting then you
cannot use the Webmail extension. This is not debatable - if you want
to use the Webmail extension this is the server setting you must use.

Please tell me where to enter the parameter,


Localhost   127.0.0.1 (the numeric equivalent of Localhost)

In Thunderbird's "Account Settings" dialogue, under "Server settings".
If you had created the account after installing the extensions, then you
would have had the option to create the account as a "Webmail" account
and the correct server settings would have been entered automatically.
You may well find it easier to create a new account using this option
than to edit the settings for the existing account. If your Yahoo
account has never worked in Thunderbird, then you've got little to lose
by deleting it and starting again.

Hi Chris, Thanks for staying with me on this. 

The dialogue you mention concludes with a POP configuration. I want the received messages to stay on the yahoo server.

Here is what I did:

I removed the old account from the Account Settings.I chose Add Account, Web mail.

I entered my name, William Klein and my email address, billy5...@yahoo.ca

I chose billy589klein as my Incoming user name.

The Account Wizard said Congratulations!
Account name Web mail - billy589klein
Email address       billy5...@yahoo.ca
Incoming user name  billy589klein
Incoming server type POP3
Outgoing User name william.klein
Outgoing server name (SMTP)  localhost

Because POP3 is not acceptable, I chose cancel.

Please tell me how to change POP to IMAP or some other parameter that will force the yahoo server to retain my received message. Thanks, Bill

I hope Chris will not mind me responding.

POP3 is the correct setting - these extensions are providing you with
a simulated POP3 connection to the Yahoo server.

The way you keep the mail on the server is to use the setting of
Thunderbird. Select the Server Settings panel in Thunderbird for your
Yahoo account and then see the box "Leave messages on server" and the
sub-options of it.

There may be IMAP support in Yahoo (though I do not believe there is -
is it not a user choice it must be deliberately provided by the
service with dedicated IMAP servers) but if there is you can bet it
has to be paid for.

It's been some time since I set up a webmail account, so I can't
remember all the dialogue boxes. I would have thought that if you
started by adding an account and choosing Webmail as the type all should
have been set up correctly, certainly the localhost for outgoing looks
right.
By default, a POP connection removes emails from the server once the
client has downloaded, the extension acts in a way which makes the
webmail service look like a POP server to Thunderbird, thus the standard
settings don't leave copies of mails on the server (your Yahoo webmail
pages). All email accounts set up in Thunderbird will do this, whether
traditional POP or webmail. There is an option under Account settings in
Thunderbird to leave a copy of mails on the server, you need to select
this, by default it isn't selected. Below this setting there are a
number of options to choose when a mail will be deleted if not deleted
when downloaded. Choose the one that best suits your needs.
One other point that I notice, by default Thunderbird uses just that
part of the email address before the @ as the user name when setting up
a new account. Yahoo needs the user name to be the full email address.

No problem at all Alan, I've just replied saying much the same. As far
as I'm aware Yahoo UK don't provide IMAP, I'd be surprised if the
Canadians had this service and us Brits didn't.

Hi Chris and Alan (and others who have taken the time to help me),

Some welcome progress. I removed my yahoo account in Mozilla and created a new account using the New Account Setup dialogue with a Webmail option.

For the first time, I am now receiving a password prompt when I attempt to log on to my account on yahoo using Thunderbird. However, I receive the following error message:

"Sending the username did not succeed. Mail server 127.0.0.1 responded: yahoo.com is an unsupported domain."

but when I change the name of the server to Localhost, I receive the following error message:

"Sending the username did not succeed. Mail server Localhost responded: yahoo.com is an unsupported domain."

I appreciate your continuing assistance.

Here are my settings:
Account name     billy5...@yahoo.com
Email address    billy5...@yahoo.com

Server settings
Server name                                Localhost
User name                                    billy5...@yahoo.com
Leave messages on server    Until I delete them

Outgoing server settings    Webmail - Localhost

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks, Bill

You have both the generic webmail and the Yahoo webmail extensions
installed? You installed them in the right order, webmail first Yahoo
second? Yahoo.com is certainly in the default list of supported domains
for my Yahoo webmail extension.

Hi Chris, Yes, I uninstalled the Webmail and Yahoo extensions and rebooted. Then I installed the Webmail, rebooted, and installed the Yahoo.

With Localhost as the server name, I receive the error message, "Connection to server Localhost timed out". This message occurred with both "Never" and "TLS if available" as security settings.

When server name is 127.0.0.1, I receive the message, "Failed to connect to server 127.0.0.1"

Your staying with me is much appreciated.

Here are my settings:

Webmail 1.3.2
Servers show POP, SMTP and IMAP all running
Ports are 110, 25 and 143 respectively
All ports are enabled at startup
Domains include yahoo.ca and yahoo.com

Webmail Yahoo 1.4.4

POP  shows Mark emails as read on server
SMTP shows save copy in sent items, checked
Advanced shows Use Short ID, checked
Domains include yahoo.ca and yahoo.com
 
The settings for billy5...@yahoo.com
Account name       billy5...@yahoo.com
Your name                 William Klein
E-mail address     billy5...@yahoo.com

The security setting should be "Never", works for me anyway. If you have
a lot of mail in your Yahoo inbox you may need to increase the time out
in Thunderbird. You'll find this setting under, "Tools", "Options",
"Advanced", "Network and disc space", I currently have a setting of 600
seconds.
A large number of mails, or mails with large attachments will increase
the time that the extension takes to process the mails, basically after
the time out period has elapsed Thunderbird gives up waiting, shows you
an error message and moves on to the next task. You may want to consider
moving the bulk of mail to a temporary folder on the Yahoo Mail web
site, leaving just a few small mails for the extension to work on until
it's up and running.
One other point to note, Thunderbird, by default, deletes mails on the
server once they're downloaded, this is standard for the POP protocol.
If you want mails to stay on the Yahoo and Hotmail websites select
"Leave a copy on the server" (or whatever I can't remember the exact
wording) in the Account Settings, Server Settings page. Judging by posts
to this group, this catches a lot of people out who start using the web
mail extensions, then find all their mails have been deleted from the
web sites when they wanted to keep copies.

I can log on to my yahoo account directly. Please tell me how to move my files to a temporary folder. One of my folders contains 744 items but they are small, and I cannot see any measure of my space allocation nor how much of it that I am occupying.

As I recall, the webmail extension only downloads from the Yahoo inbox
unless you have specified named subfolders to download from. I'm not
sure how you create a new folder in Yahoo, I've never done it myself,
but it looks as though you may have to temporarily change your account
back to the "Classic" mode to do this. Yahoo say they are still tweaking
some of the settings pages and mail filters and folders can only be set
up in Classic mode. It's been like this for months! I wonder when
they'll get around to completing the new web pages? Mails with
attachments take up most processing time, mails without attachments
shouldn't take long to download as long as the number of mails is small,
say 10~20 mails, more probably would be OK, but once the number is 100s
then it can take a long time.

Hi Chris,

In order to avoid the issue related to connecting to a large yahoo account, I have created a new account named hoyle...@yahoo.com. It has two small items in its inbox and no folders. I have verified that the password works and that the account can send and receive messages.

In Thunderbird, when I connect to the account I receive the following error message:

"Sending the password did not succeed. Mail server localhost responded: negative vibes from hoyle...@yahoo.com"

Settings for Yahoo 1.4.4.
My Webmail - Yahoo 1.4.4 is set to hoyle...@yahoo.com.

Account settings in Thunderbird:
Account name: "Web Mail - hoyle...@yahoo.com"
My name: "William Klein"
E-mail address: "hoyle...@yahoo.com"
Server settings:
Server name "localhost"
Port: 110
User Name "hoyle...@yahoo.com"
User secure connection "Never"

Please tell me how to fix this. Thanks, Bill

I think this is due to not having the "Mode" in the extension Options
selected to match the mode on the website. On the Yahoo mail website,
you should be using the new version (there will be a link at the top of
the home page back to "Mail Classic"), the Classic web site no longer
works with the extensions. In the "Tools", "Add-ons", menu select
options for the Yahoo extension and set the mode to "Beta". This should
solve the "Negative vibes" error.

Hi Chris,  I have rotated through every combination of mode in Webmail Yahoo 1.4.4. and release of Yahoo that I know of but still no success.

Nine days of patient and persistent help from you and others in connecting Thunderbird to my Yahoo account.

It would be useful to take another approach. Could you please tell me exactly and in detail what settings you have on your own Thunderbird and Yahoo account to accomplish a connection?

I have a free Yahoo account with two small messages in its inbox and a free Thunderbird account that has been able to connect to gmail and my Webmail account at the University of Toronto with no difficulty.

Thanks, Bill

OK Bill,
Yahoo web site set to "All New", I can't remember what Yahoo call it
exactly, but definitely not the "Classic", which Yahoo still makes you
go back to to set up filters and folders.
Yahoo Extension, Mode set to Beta, POP "mark mails as read on server",
Advanced "Use Short ID" and "Reuse HTTP session data".
Account Settings:
Account name, my email address. Thunderbird puts this in automatically
when setting up a new account, but it's only used internally by TB, it
can be anything you choose.
Server settings;
Type, POP
Server name, Localhost, default port 110. NB if you're using any form of
Linux you will need to change the port to something above 1024 and
change the port setting in the main webmail extension as well.
User name, your full Yahoo email address, as you would use for signing
into Yahoo.
Security settings, "Never" and don't tick the box for "Use secure
authentication"
Set the check for new messages to suit your needs, I check on start up
and every 10 minutes and automatically download new messages. If you
want messages to be left on Yahoo so you can access them from another
computer, check this option as well.
The outgoing server is Localhost, username is email address, No secure
connection, and port 25. As before, the port number will need to be
changed on Linux systems.
Just one other point, Yahoo are doing something with the website that
causes the extension's log-in to occasionally fail. If this happens,
tick the "remember password" box and try again. Nine times out of ten
this will work, I had a failed log-in message when starting TB this
morning, the second attempt worked.

Hi Chris, SUCCESS!

It appears that TB will not allow two addresses at Yahoo. I removed the billy589klein@yahoo address after making the changes you suggested.

Now I want to change hoyleboy39 to billy589... but first I want to back up the settings.

1. Please tell me where the settings for Thunderbird are located so that I can make a copy of them from which I can restore them if I make a mistake in altering them.

2. Please tell me how to make fixed width medium size the default permanent font setting for composing messages.

Thanks, Bill

1. I'm afraid I don't know. In the "Mozilla Thunderbird" folder in
"Program Files" there is a folder called "geprefs". This contains three
*.js files any one or none of which may contain the account information.
2.I've composed this in fixed width, but I don't think the change will
"stick". However, under "Tools", "Options", look under the "Composition"
tab. select the options you want, then OK out. This should set it.

Hi Chris, I have now  connected Thunderbird to my two Yahoo accounts. My inbox should be almost empty but in Thunderbird all folders in my main Yahoo account have been downloaded into my inbox, which now contains almost 400 items. In Webmail - Yahoo>Options>POP I checked Mark emails as read on server and Download junkmail and specified the folders to download. Instead of maintaining the separate folders, their contents are displayed in the inbox.

When I view the account in Yahoo the folders and their contents remain correctly separate.

Please tell me how to keep the folders separate on Thunderbird. Thanks, Bill

You need to set up message filters in Thunderbird. By default
Thunderbird will put all downloaded messages in the Inbox, this is a
requirement of the POP protocol which Thunderbird and the extension
follow. The extension does add a header, something along the lines of
"X-folder= {name of folder}" where name of folder is the folder name in
Yahoo. Use the "View" menu in Thunderbird and select "Message source" to
see all the headers. You can set up a message filter rule something
along the lines of, "If X-folder is", "{name of folder", then move
message to "Folder". The folder that you move the message to can be
named anything you like, most probably you will want folders named the
same as your folders in Yahoo, but this is entirely your choice.

If it's asking for the password for william.klein, but the address is
billy589klein@... it may be that you're using the wrong localhost
server. I see that you have two localhost entries, it would be helpful
to rename them to something meaningful so that you know which one
relates to which web mail account.

In Thunderbird, open the "Tools", "Account Settings..." Window. Scroll
down to "Outgoing Server (SMTP)". Click on one of the server names to
highlight it, then click "Edit...". In the dialogue box that opens, you
can put anything you want in the description field. This will then
appear in the list of servers in front of the server name, i.e. Yahoo1 -
localhost, Yahoo2 - localhost, etc. Instead of Yahoo1, use something
meaningful to you.

Hi Chris, I have changed my Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings as shown below, but I continue to receive the following message,

"Enter your password for william.klein on localhost"



when I send a message from billy5...@yahoo.ca from within Thunderbird. The table below shows Description in column 1 and server name in Column 2.

The table shows that I do not have william.klein assigned to localhost. Please tell me how to send messages from yahoo within Thunderbird. Thanks, Bill

Description                Server name       
billly5...@yahoo.ca    localhost
University of Toronto      smtp.utoronto.ca
hoyle...@yahoo.ca        Localhost
[blank]                    smtp1.sympatico.ca
[blank]                    smtp.gmail.com
plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com    localhost

I still can't see why it asks for the password for william.klein when
this isn't the account name. I can't get my Yahoo mail in Thunderbird to
ask for a password at any time, maybe I need to restart Thunderbird
after deleting the stored password.

Hi Chris, Thanks to your patient help, all is working they way I want it to.

I have within Thunderbird four e-mail accounts (one Webmail, two Yahoo, one gmail). Whenever I start Thunderbird, I must enter four passwords. Please tell me how to suppress the password dialogue for one or more of these accounts without it from my accounts settings. Thanks, Bill

When you enter the password, there is a tick box, "remember this
password" or something similar. Tick this box after you enter the
password and before clicking OK. Thunderbird should then remember the
password and automatically insert it every time you fetch mail.
Occasionally, the Yahoo log in may fail, this is down to Yahoo, just
re-check the remember password box and continue.

Hi Chris, If my computer is stolen then the thief has immediate entry. Is there an alternative? Thanks, Bill

Using the Mozilla Thunderbird profile manager, I have created a new profile named University on my external G drive. When the drive is turned on and accessible I can start Thunderbird with the following command:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -P "University"

I have copied the Profiles directory from the external drive to my internal D drive, which is more convenient because it is always turned on and accessible. However, the above command fails to detect the new location of the University profile.

The full path name of the new location is:

D:\Documents and Settings\Bill\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\p25jhy5v.default


I would appreciate instructions on how to tell Thunderbird that the the profile location
has been changed from the G to the D drive. The profile manager has only the options Create, rename and Delete. Thanks, Bill

Click on "Help" in Thunderbird, then "Thunderbird help" in the menu that
opens. In the web page that opens, click on the Mozilla Thunderbird FAQ
link, then look for the "How do I move my profile or restore a backed up
copy? question. The answer to this should tell you all you need to know.
Question of my own. Why does Thunderbird's spell checker always flag its
own name as misspelled?

You will need to edit and modify your Thunderbird profiles.ini file to
make this work. I do not think there is a GUI method to help so if
you experience any problems after reading the FAQ to which Chris
Clifton referred you then let us know and I am sure we can help.

I might add that I'd only been looking at the FAQ last night because I
will shortly be dealing with the somewhat similar problem of migrating
all my emails, settings, etc. to Thunderbird on a new computer. If the
FAQ is to be believed, all I need to do is copy the profiles folder from
the old to the new computer after shutting down Thunderbird for the last
time on the old machine. If I overwrite the profiles folder of the new,
unused Thunderbird installation, then it should have everything just as
it was when I last used the old installation.

I have added a profile to my Thunderbird account. They are named "default" and "University of Toronto only". They start when I click on a dedicated icon which has the -P command with the name of the profile.

I wish to use the same address book for both profiles. Please tell me how to do this. I have looked at

Sharing address books in Mozillazine but I didn't find it helpful.

The profile and prefs files follow.

Here is my current profiles.ini:

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=0

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/p25jhy5v.default
Default=1

[Profile1]
Name=University of Toronto only
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/g1c92mgp.University of Toronto only

Here is the file named prefs.js found in the directory named g1c92mgp.University of Toronto only
