I am having login issues as I changed my password with Rogers, but when I input my new password in Thunderbird when prompted, it comes up with an error - 

"Login to server imap.mail.yahoo.com with username [email protected] failed"

I wanted to try to delete the account and reinstall, but don't want to lose all the emails that I have saved in Thunderbird. What can I do to save them to import into the new(old) account?
