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.

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

 

Yahoo! Mail error - Error Cod: 8000FFFF

Here is a solution if your problem is similar.

I work for att and I worked on this particular issue for several hours with a customer. In the end, I tried a lot of different trial and error ideas. In the end, I discovered the windows phone auto set up seems to clash with Yahoo mail. My particular customer
has the yahoo plus, so that was not the solution to this error.

Yahoo has their email server set up as a pop, but it defaults in the phone as an imap, which is wrong.

Here is the Yahoo mail settings. As you can see there is a difference between regular and premium yahoo mail.



Yahoo! Mail Settings

• 
  Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465)

• 
  Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)

POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings

• 
  Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)

• 
  Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)

Something to note, if you use the default wizard set up for yahoo and you have a premium account it will not work. The phone cannot detect that you have premium service with yahoo, so you need to set up the yahoo account manually. Which means you need to go
to the advanced set up and type in the email server information yourself. Exactly how yahoo has it listed here. After I did that, the 8000FFFF error disappeared as well as every other error I'd receive. One more thing, notice the plus in front of the email
server for the plus account. Make sure that is there or it will not work.
