Windows 10: Windows 10 mail in app browser doesn't load yahoo completely!

When I try to add my yahoo account to mail again, it opens the yahoo sign in webpage, I am able to enter my username but it wont show the box to enter the password, there is only Yahoo logo on the page, other objects wont load in the pop up browser.I tried everything, literally everything! I even reinstalled the windows, connected to vpn, but nothing really worked!Im so annoyed. I have the latest version of windows 10 and mail app.However, it works perfectly with gmail, but somehow it is not able to load yahoo website while connecting to the se

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.

 

YAHOO MAIL and email apps

Hi clayto

Yahoo has been going through some changes as Verizon lays its hands around the product. You get messages if you try to access the web view on the old IE with a desire to push you to a new browser.

I recognize you are using app I only mention as it relates to things happening at Yahoo.

Any chance you have two step verification on for Yahoo in which case you need an app password to access.

Just for my clarification, you are trying to access your Yahoo mail account through your Windows 10 mail app, correct?

You might also see if any Credentials are being stored in the Windows Credential Manager for Yahoo. (Click start, type Credential Manager)
