I'm not having this problem with Thunderbird, but I'm running it under
Ubuntu. Occasionally the sending of a message will hang or saving it to
my sent folder will get stuck, but closing and restarting Thunderbird
usually fixes the problem. I also pretty much use Thunderbird
exclusively with Gmail.
I'm not being of much help, but you may try reinstalling Thunderbird or
removing and recreating your Yahoo account. Actually, since it's just a
problem with sending mail, you could try removing and reentering the
SMTP settings. It could also be a computer, network or proxy issue.
Good luck, and I hope you figure it out!
