I have always used PWD Hash, so no problem there. And yeah, they don't have my real name. In fact no website does unless it's like Amazon, eBay, my bank, etc, etc...
I don't worry so much about hacks like this since, well, the Chinese got my entire federal background investigation report in that massive breach a few years ago. I mean, there's nothing else I can even hide from these people that isn't already out there.
That being said, time to move on. I am trying to download my Yahoo emails to Thunderbird via the pop3 server, and not having any luck. You're supposed to be able to turn on POP3 access via Yahoo settings. But this doesn't exist in my settings....
Have you enabled the "allow less secure apps" in the account -> security section? That may be required even though Thunderbird is usually on top of adopting OAUTH and other API standards.

To discontinue POP access, remove your Yahoo Mail account's POP settings from the app you're using. You don't need to make any changes in your Yahoo Mail account.

i tried it both ways, no change. i may try outlook.

i dont want to use yahoo anymore but i have 15 years of records of pretty much everything ive bought online in my inbox. i dont want to lose that.
I think pop3 access is/was a paid only access, but they did open up IMAP access. I haven't used TB in a while, but you can get your e-mail through outlook using IMAP and then copying it to a local pst file. I would guess you could do the same in TB but not sure.
I'm in the same boat. my yahoo mail address has been used for online stores and news letters. i'm not moving, i'm still sticking there. i should change my password though.
Why not use imap, then export the whole mess?I don't worry so much about hacks like this since, well, the Chinese got my entire federal background investigation report in that massive breach a few years ago.

I don't want to archive in some weird Thunderbird format.
Yes, that was the ticket, changing to IMAP. Buuuut, Outlook will not pull anything down from the network before 2014. Thunderbird shows everything back to 1999, but Thunderbird doesn't have .PST backup files. I don't want to archive in some weird Thunderbird format.
I'll have to try and remember to look when i get home, but i think you can go back and edit/configure the account and change how long it looks to all. But mine should be going back to the late 90s early 2000s. If i remember, i'll let you know.
AFAIK the billion breach happened a year before the 500m.Apparently dissatisfied with their earlier haul of 500m "thisismyfakeemail@yahoo.com" accounts, these hackers returned, with great vengeance and loathing in their hearts, to steal the data on 1 billion additional "lulzthisreallyismyfakeemailagain2@yahoo.com" email accounts.
