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.




2. After selecting other app and entering the new app name in the text box




3. Now, in Windows 10 mail app, add this type of account.




4. In Windows 10 mail app, enter your details and the password generated by step 2.




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.

 

Windows 10 Mail App : Your Yahoo account settings are out of date

I am able to log in to my Yahoo a/c through a Browser(Edge/IE). I do have two-step/two-factor authentication on my Yahoo a/c. However, it provides only a ON/OFF toggle for "Allow apps that use less secure signature". There is no "Manage App Password" as mentioned in "Yahoo User Forum". I was tempted to change my Yahoo a/c Password by "Copy & Pasting" the one incorporated in "Mail" App. By clicking the "show password" button I learnt that it is only alphabet part of an incomplete sentence. So I stopped short. The basic problem is I am unable to reach "Credential Manager" as an Administrator to change this password. I've Run msconfig in "Diagnostic" mode -> Restarted, then tried to change this "Password" but failed. As mentioned before I've tried deleting the Yahoo a/c & adding again. I've also uninstalled "Mail" using Windows Powershell & Re-installed it from Windows Store. No success
