    Error when trying to add Yahoo mail to Windows 10 mail


    Hi,

    I am repeatedly getting an error when trying to add Yahoo account to Windows 10 mail app. At this, I still getting email from Yahoo about "New sign-in". So, I downloaded good old Windows Live and added Yahoo to it without problems. So far, the issue is only with mail app and only with Yahoo Gmail added with no problems.

    error 0x8007042b when adding a Yahoo Mail account to MS Mail App

    I went this route and added passwords for yahoo mail. I might try this method above to get gmail to buck up! *Tongue

    @Bastet, this is probably what you were referring to the whole time.


    YAHOO MAIL FIX
    2FA needs to be enabled which it already was and just follow these steps below.

    1. In yahoo mails account security, click on manage app passwords.

    Fully functional mail app again.



    GMAIL FIX

    Now similar steps to setting up Gmail. Here I'll only go through the Gmail steps as Windows Mail App setup is the exact same.

    Follow this jpeg below, all steps are merged as there's a 5 attachment limit.

    I've edited it to show the solution for Gmail also.

    Yes, once 2-factor authentication is enabled you should then create the app specific password & enter it instead of the account password.

    Error when trying to add Yahoo mail to Windows 10 mail

    error 0x8007042b when adding a Yahoo Mail account to MS Mail App

    When using the mail app in:
    OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
    OS Version: 10.0.18362 N/A Build 18362

    I'm getting the error code:
    error 0x8007042b

    I've disabled anti-virus but that didn't work.

    What I'm trying to do is:
    1. Go to the settings (the cog wheel in the app)
    2. Manage accounts
    3. + add account
    4. and choose Yahoo
    5. this gives the error: error 0x8007042b

    I've 4 other mail accounts so resetting the app I haven't tried. Any other way around this issue?
