Re: Thunderbird-yahoo e-mail authentication and security. [SOLVED]

The problem that motivated this thread seems to have (magically!) disappeared. Perhaps the problem was on the verizon-yahoo end.

I use Thunderbird almost exclusively (>99%) for my e-mail. All accounts are set to "SSL/TLS" and "Normal password". If I understand Tim and Rick correctly, authentication is already encrypted, but the messages themselves are not (or does SSL/TLS also apply to the messages being passed between yahoo and me?). So, these are the best settings for my situation. Encryption of messages would be great, but with multiple accounts and I-don't-know-how-many-correspondents, that seems like a logistical nightmare.

So I consider this issue SOLVED.  Thank-you Rick and Tim.

I'm curious: in the HyperKitty version of this list, if I click "Sign In", I get a page with 10 choices of ways to log in. Is this (9 of those 10 choices) an example of OAuth2?

Happy New Year everyone!
