==========
For the past few days, most every step of using yahoo e-mail in Thunderbird is taking minutes rather than seconds. Examples: log in, selecting a folder, selecting a message. I've changed nothing. I looked at Thunderbird help. I saw in a different, very recent problem that the user was advised to change his authentication method.

The authentication methods that Thunderbird offers for IMAP, SSL/TLS are Normal password, Encrypted password, Kerberos / GSSAPI, NTLM, TLS Certificate, OAuth2.

I do not have a cell phone or any texting or social networking accounts, so I cannot use 2-factor.

questions
=========
1. Am I correct is believing that nothing that I did in the "unwanted checks for updates." thread would cause these problems? 2. What are the advantages, disadvantages, and security risks of each of the 6 authentication methods offered by Thunderbird for yahoo e-mail?
