I am unable to synch my yahoo account in windows 10. Keep getting a message that my account is out of date. Nothing fixes this issue. It was working fine until 27 days ago.

Yahoo mail - alternative accounts

STOP PRESS
==========
If you want an alternative yahoo account, you MUST complete a new registration application in your choice of alias account name. You cannot do it by simply using the ADD feature on your primary account detail sheet.

Here is the answer that Yahoo could not define explicitly and users like myself get into one hell of a mess :-

1. You have an existing Yahoo account Fred @yahoo.com, username = Fred. This is the primary account.
2. Log onto yahoo.com.
3. Create a second completely new account by REGISTERING.
4. New account is john @yahoo.com, username = John.
5. Yahoo confirmation is received by John.
6. Verify account by clicking confirmation data.
7. New account is now active for send and receive.
8. You can now ADD the new secondary account to the primary account as an alternative account and vice versa.
9. It all now works, messages can be sent and received between each of your primary and secondary accounts.

THANKS Yahoo, I sorted all this out myself with not a scrap of help from you.

 

Yahoo mail - alternative accounts

Sounds promising, I have a Gmail account. How do I verify the Yahoo account using it ?

I have sent several Gmails to john @yahoo.com, but all I get are mail failure emails back saying the account is not available. I also did this with OE a few times with the same result.

Why `o why can`t Yahoo be more explicit in their instructions. I am no dummy, but I give in on this one.
