frank 0 Reputation points2025-11-07T16:11:19.98+00:00 I'm having the exact same issue Ted Tomaszewicz is having. I use Thunderbird on multiple PCs one of which gives me the "Edge: Too Many Requests" error popup. I tried clearing cache and cookies, not logging in for several days, removing the account and re-adding it but it still does the same thing. Very frustrating.

Ted Tomaszewicz 0 Reputation points2025-11-07T21:20:16.89+00:00 May I refer readers to this URL wherein I have documented the ongoing saga. I've seen some relief when I employ a Yahoo generated password, but the saga/trek continues.
The Edge browser is invoked when Yahoo displays the error message. Edge ain't the culprit.
Basically, it looks as if I can receive but not send emails in the "problem" account via Thunderbird. The web Yahoo is unaffected.

2025-11-05T01:10:40.7966667+00:00 Not an answer, just my encounters.
I use Mozilla T-Bird. Its at the latest release level.
About four days ago, I encountered the repetitive "Enter credentials...."
For various objectives/needs, I have six yahoo accounts .
Only one account is beset with the "issue".
This "issue" occurs immediately after activating T-bird on my Win-11-Pro PC.
I've cleared cache, etc. multiple times -- all to no avail.
I set the timers in all my Yahoo accounts to irregular times.
Today, I've unchecked "[_] Check for new messages at startup", in all but one account to see if it "helps". Alas NO change.
BTW, I don't encounter any issues reaching any and all Yahoo mail accounts via Mozilla Firefox and "https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1"
Before anyone leaps, the issue arises even after T-Bird has been open for a lengthy period of time, e.g.: minutes to hours.

Arlene D 36,040 Reputation points Independent Advisor2025-10-22T21:31:51.48+00:00 Hi, thanks for reaching out. When Edge shows “too many requests” while signing in to Yahoo Mail, it usually means the browser sent too many login attempts too fast. Does this happen after several tries or right away? Try clearing your cache and cookies in Edge settings, then close and reopen the browser before signing in again. If that doesn’t work, open an in Private window or check that Edge is updated under Settings > About Microsoft Edge. These steps often fix sign-in issues caused by stored data or rate limits.
