Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1997062

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

Attachment: image(1).png

In a fresh debian VM, and a fresh install of Thunderbird 140.3.0, I cannot add a yahoo.com account, either with IMAP or POP.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go through the account setup using the normal account setup screen
2. Add the name and [e-mail] address
3. See that yahoo.com was discovered in ispdb so click Done.
4. A pop up screen appears. But instead of containing the expected yahoo.com login screen, it just has the text "Edge: too many requests."

Yeah I see that.
Not sure there's anything wrong in Thunderbird. It seems yahoo has a server side issue OR limiting the requests from Thunderbird for whatever reason. Potentially caused by bug 1989083.

A pop up screen appears. But instead of containing the expected yahoo.com login screen, it just has the text "Edge: too many requests."

Tests:

1. Access Edge browser settings and clear the cache and cookies. Attempt to create account.

If fails:
2. Use another browser eg: Firefox - set up as default browser. Attempt to create account.

Please post results for these tests.

Anje, I do not even have the Edge browser installed at all and I'm able to log in with Firefox.

Well when tried from a different network, I get the correct authentication pop up window for yahoo. So I'm going to chalk this up to some strange network issue related the public network i was on at the time.

Yeah this was unrelated to Edge-the-browser.
I don't see it anymore either (but general login at yahoo fails for me for some reason.)
