Hello! Thunderbird has stopped downloading messages from my Yahoo+ account. I can send messages from it OK. When I try to get it to download, it says: Checking Inbox for new messages... and waits at this point. Then I get: Host Contacted, sending login information... Then it waits for a long time. Eventually, it indicates "No messages to download", and then goes back to "checking inbox for new messages". If I click "Get Messages", a pop-up comes up with: "Error with account... and below: The account fischer94563@yahoo.com is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages." I've deleted the APP and downloaded and installed a new copy. No changes. Deleted and reentered my password with Yahoo. I'm at a loss to understand why this is happening, but it was working fine until recently. Any thoughts? Thanks. Kevin
