Cannot access Yahoo mail via Outlook 2010 Closed

Question

Windows 10 Pro 1909, Outlook 2010, Firefox 74

I have several yahoo mail (full featured) accounts and I have never been able to access them through Outlook 2010.  No problems with web access thru any browser.  Here are the settings:

Incoming Mail (POP) Server
    Server - pop.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 995
    Requires SSL - Yes

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
    Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 465 or 587
    Requires SSL - Yes
    Requires TLS - Yes (if available)
    Requires authentication - Yes

Login info
    User Name: everything to the left of the @ sign in the email address 
      e.g., name for name@yahoo.com
    Password - Account password.
    Requires authentication - Yes

Server always rejects the logon attempt:



I have read where yahoo requires an app password or requires DMARC authentifcation but I don't know whether that is true or not.  If so I don't think I would be able to access my yahoo account through Outlook 2010.  Any way I would appreciate some help here.

Hi,

Have you enabled the Account Key or 2-step verification on your accounts?

Try to set up a new Yahoo account. In Outlook, click File > Info > Add Account. Select E-mail Account and choose Manually configure server settings or additional server types, then click Next.

Select Internet E-mail and click Next. Then fill in the following fields:

 Your Name: your name
 E-mail Address: your.email@domain.com
 Account Type: POP3
 Incoming mail server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
 Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com
 User Name: your.email@domain.com
 Password: your password
 Remember password: Yes

Once done, click the More settings button, select the Outgoing Server tab and check the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and Use same settings as my incoming server options.

Next, in the same window, select the Advanced tab and enter the server port settings:

 Incoming server (POP3): 995
 This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL): Yes
 Outgoing server (SMTP): 587
 Use the following type of encrypted connection: TLS

Save by clicking Ok and click the Test Account Settings button to make sure that everything is correct. Then click Next > Finish.
