Why would Yahoo be timing out when I try and open mail?

Thunderbird cannot connect to pop.mail.yahoo.com. "Server not ready.Please try again after sometime"

  • When Mozilla Thunderbird tries to connect to pop.mail.yahoo.com an alert occurs: "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: Server not ready. Please try again after sometime". Then Thunderbird asks again for my (already saved) password. However, using Firefox I can normally log in with http://mail.yahoo.com. What is going on?

  • Answer:

    Same problem here- seems the server is overwhelmed or something, and it is very irritating- the auto- check on outlook brings up an "enter Network password" window every time it checks for email. This has happenned before, and it was DAYS before Yahoo! fixed it. DISSATISFIED customer here!
