Hello,

i had the same problem with my gmail account some weeks ago.

I am using this settings:

Server-Settings/IMAP
imap.gmail.com with Port 993
SSL/TLS Passwort/normal

SMTP
smtp.gmail.com with Port 587
STARTTLS Passwort/normal

In addition you have to check your settings in yout GMail-Account because you have to allow Thunderbird connecting GMail (go to your Google Account settings).

Allowing less secure apps GMail:

About Yahoo i don’t know the settings. But it may be possible there is a similar option…
