I am unable to configure my yahoo.in account to Thunderbird. When I try to configure it it shows that
Thunderbird fails to find settings for your email account.
Can anyone help?
But I am able to configure an @gmail.com account.

Yahoo Mail doesn't offer POP/IMAP access for you to connect using an email client like Thunderbird - at least not unless you use Yahoo Mail Plus.
If you are using Yahoo Mail Plus, these settings should help:
Incoming mail server settings
- POP server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
- Use SSL Port: 995
Outgoing mail server (SMTP) settings
- SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
- Use SSL
- Port: 465
Use authentication
- Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com", for example, “jo.bloggs”)
- Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (for example, jo.bloggs@yahoo.com)
- Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
If you don't have Yahoo Mail Plus, then you can't use an email client.

I do not think that Yahoo Mail Plus is required. I have been using Thunderbird with Yahoo for years and never paid anything.
My problem is that Thunderbird crashed due to my external hard drive becoming Read-Only and when I moved my profile to another hard drive I could no longer get Thunderbird to connect to Yahoo.com.ph.

This does not appear to answer the question. – Austin T French – 2014-05-30T11:20:33.213
1As it stands it is hard to tell what you are doing. Please either edit your post to make it a lot cleared and/or more generic. – Hennes – 2013-02-07T18:05:29.270
