Thunderbird stopped being able to download my " All New Yahoo Mail" messages last week. Finally I set Yahoo to forward all my email to my Gmail account. Yahoo is set to delete the messages after forwarding. Thunderbird picks it up just fine from Gmail. I will drop my Yahoo email at the end of the year. No need for the Webmail extension. I could not figure out how tom add that anyway. The Webmail instructions said to click on things that Thunderbird 3.1 apparently does not have.
