Windows 10: AT&T_Yahoo email server security lockout resolve--Helping COVID relati

Brother in Law recovering COVID--not at home. I have his laptop. His email account not sending/receiving since at least November 2020. Email client is desktop Outlook/Windows 10. Email account with AT&T.

His password is good. I'm able to login to his AT&T/Yahoo/Currently mail server and view emails. When AT&T outsourced email servers to Yahoo last year(?), they increased the security level for email client access. I'm sure they sent an email with link instructions to easily address new security--which BIL ignored.

The server error (I don't have right now) is identical to that which I'm seeing on search for those customers that hadn't made the AT&T/Yahoo security fix.

I think I've found the solution on the AT&T forum--Require logon using Secure Password Authentication.

Also something about a Secure Mail Key.

I understand neither. I do not want to screw up someone else's email account/Outlook trying to help. That's why I'm here. I need confirmation of the correct action before I proceed.

Email server: Help needed

I'm looking to set up a simple (free or cheapish) email server. It doesnt have to be too fancy. Will have about 15 email accounts on it, and needs to have ability for webmail so mail can be picked up while on the road.

Exchange and Outlook Web Access seems like overkill (or at least, pretty expensive given the software and CLA required).

Suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Email Server Software

Thanks for the pointer to Kerio. Looks good.

Are there any other suggestions for email servers, either like Kerio but cheaper, or perhaps not as comprehensive, but free.

Like pinchy, I'd like to set up a basic mailserver that can also provide webmail services (and NOT look like some clumsy 1980's html rubbish) for about 10 users.
