Windows 10: yahoo email on windows 10 mail

for the last 2 days i have been getting a message that my 'account needs to be updated' and asking me to update my password for my yahoo.ca email, my password doesn't work
finally found a thread that advised me to delete the account and re-add it, so i put all my very important emails into the archive folder and deleted the account and re-added it, all my emails are gone and i'm still getting the same message that my email password needs to be updated!
i have tried to access my yahoo.ca email from the internet, but it is telling me that it doesn't recognize my email address!
i have no idea how to fix this and how to get all my emails back
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help me!
i am using a friends email to get responses

Mail in windows 10 will not update my yahoo email password. continually receive yahoo account settings are out of date. Help

Still having the same problem. I'm using edge to sign into yahoo email. No new mail set up for Yahoo. Not using the mail app for windows 10 to access yahoo email.

 

why can i no longer sync yahoo email on my windows 10 laptop?

Have you set up Windows 10 Mail with your Yahoo email.

Then you can sync and download all folders and emails from Yahoo into Windows 10 Mail App

 

Are you going to mail.yahoo.ca ?
I land on Yahoo - login

What do you for ping and tracert to mail.yahoo.ca ?

ok, it looks as though you are getting to the correct place.

It isn't clear what asked you to update your yahoo account (Win10 Mail App ... Outlook.com ... Yahoo)
I'm also not sure where you archived the msgs or deleted your account (Win10 Mail App ... Outlook.com ... Yahoo)

Try logging in to yahoo.ca first, then going to the mail page
You might try yahoo.com, but that's just a guess

If you're sure that you entered the correct info on Yahoo, then only Yahoo can assist you.
Poke around Yahoo help
Here's somewhere you can start: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2624.html

 

it was win 10 mail app and i archived the emails there as well, the archive folder is now gone, along with all my emails

 

File Explorer sear your PC for the eMail files

use the following searches in separate File Explorer windows

kind:=communication

ext:eml

They might still be on the machine.

The mail might still be on Yahoo - not sure how you set up the Mail App (delete mail from server when deleted from App ???)

Unfortunately, I think your best bet is to pursue this with Yahoo. Maybe it's just a password thing, maybe it's the Yahoo servers .. they'll be able to answer your questions. They do have backups, but I'm not sure how long they retain the data - and since your login isn't recognized ... that adds impetus to contacting them.

Good luck, that's all I can offer.
