MAIL'S (not) IN... - Saving Emails as .eml

[ameerat42]

Yahoo Mail does not listen to Mozilla Thunderbird - no matter how long and plaintively it calls!

So my two Yahoo mail accounts have appeared in the Thunderbird list for ages now.
I have declined to log in to them because I only needed Optusnet and Gmail in-boxes.

Today I was ready to log in to the two Yahoo accounts. - No matter HOW I entered the passwords,
I could not get in/download the respective emails. Did a search and found that Yahoo blocks
Thunderbird access, considering it to be "unsecure".

Well, I'm not going to pay for full Outlook, and the free version does not look very comprehensive

What I want to do is: save emails and attachments as .eml files,
and Yahoo is the only recalcitrant one so far.

...Still looking...

Gmail and Optus webmail are OK in Thunderbird; Yahoo requires a 3rd party prog
