Found it. I also needed to remove the smtp server for Yahoo. When Thunderbird set up the account, it simply reused the existing smtp.mail.yahoo.com server definition. Even when I set that up correctly, it wasn't working. However when I deleted it along with the pop account, it recreated it from scratch and now it seems to work.
I note that I now have 3 saved passwords for the account: 1) mailbox:// ... for the pop server 2) oauth:// .... 3) smtp:// ... The passwords are all the same - the very long computer generated one.
