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.

 

Is Yahoo Mail Down, Right Now?

I can't get into my Yahoo Mail. Tried on 3 different computers, and it doesn't seem to be my router.

I also tried YPOPs w/ Outlook 2007. But no joy.

CAN ANYONE ACCESS THEIR YAHOO MAIL, NOW?

Thanks,
