I just installed Mozilla Thunderbird in my Windows 10 PC. When I clicked on the Thunderbird icon on the screen, I saw it kind of downloaded my e-mail from Yahoo Mail. Then I got this message: " "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.mail.yahoo.com" How can this problem be resolved?
