I have Thunderbird on my system as well, but I don't use it as I prefer
SeaMonkey. If I were to set up Thunderbird to access Yahoo mail via
IMAP and SMTP with oauth2, assuming it will work, would there be a way
to pull the oauth2 entry from it and add it to the SeaMonkey password
file to get it working here?
