I changed the password on my Yahoo mail account several times due to hijacking of my mail account. Thunderbird will no longer let me send mail or forward mail. It asks for the password but it wont accept it. Why. how do I get Thunderbird to store my password for Yahoo? This is very aggravating to say the least. This means I have to go into Yahoo to send the mail or to forward the mail got. I did not have this problem until I changed my password. Lets get this fixed so we don't have to have all these problems.

I'd start by removing all the old saved passwords.

There will be at least two entries, for sending and receiving. Use the filter box at the top to help find all yahoo-related passwords.

What's your reason for thinking that your account has been "hacked"? Many people see spam messages using their email address and unnecessarily jump straight to the false conclusion that someone else has got into their account. This is rarely the case. A spammer doesn't need access to your account to use your email address in the "from:" field of his spams. Analysis of the message headers almost always shows it was sent by someone else.
