The above seems to address the changes in Yahoo email. I knew I had
read this somewhere but just now refound it. I captured just the part
about using Thunderbird but I would this this would be similiar to
Agent?

Access mail via Thunderbird
Remove your Yahoo account and set it up again in the Thunderbird email
client.

Go to Tools | Account Settings.
Select your account in the list.
Go to Account Actions at the bottom left.
Click Remove Accounts.
Click Add Accounts and type in the email address and password.

method for your account.

Hey friends,

2 days ago Eudora have stopped working with yhaoo.com and it is

Anyone know why this problem?
Anyone use yahoo.com?
Thank you.

I had the same problem that Yahoo password quit working on 1 phone
mail program and one Tablet mail program the same exact day. I was not
using Yahoo App on either of these device

On one other newer Samsung tablet the default mail program still
works. Also the same password works on 2 different computers using
either Chrome or Firefox so I know it is not a password problem.

Yahoo has made some type of change to their servers requirement.

As soon as I installed the Yahoo App the same password on both
devices.

I remember back in Feb 2020 ATT posted the following notice about
changes to their mail program. I also vaguely remember something to
the affect that one of the other mail servers said that if you removed
your account and then add it back, it would allow it to keep working.
I did not try this. I really don't like the Yahoo mail App interface.

From the above web page:

Generate and manage third-party app passwords

Some older, third-party email apps

(that do not use our Yahoo branded sign in page) require you to enter
a single password for login credentials. To access your Yahoo Mail
account on these apps, you'll need to generate and use an app
password. An app password is a long, randomly generated code that
gives a non-Yahoo app permission to access your Yahoo account. You’ll
only need to provide this code once to sign in to your third-party
email app.

Can I ask a stupid question? Isn't it easier to set up Eudora with
IMAP instead of POP3?
Maybe it can't be done?

What can I do with Eudora, please?

Same thing... presuming you are running a version of Eudora that has IMAP capability.

You should not remove your email account from Yahoo web page. That is
not the problem.

The problem is Yahoo and several other email suppliers are increasing
their security and changing the protocols they feel are necessary to
try and stop hacking of email accounts.

I have never tried to use Yahoo with Eudora so I don't know anything
about that issue.

I don't think TB has an _automatic_ way of _looking up_ server details; however, it has the details for many common ISPs built into it. (These
of course go out of date; if you use an older version of TB and the ISP
has changed their server details - names _or_ protocols - you'll have to
set them up manually and _not_ accept what it suggests.)

Yes, I have Eudora 7.1 and I have to option to configure it with IMAP,
but I don't know how I can configure it.
If Thunderbid is able to download yahoo emails, do you think even
Eudora 7.1 is able to download yahoo emails?

For people who use the Web based Yahoo mail you might consider this
tip. I use this for my wife's email since she uses Firefox and the web
based interface. She no longer gets the ad on the side in her email.
It has worked for a year so far.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yahoomailhideadpanel/

One thing I notice when the LG V20 mail App quit working with Yahoo
mail. When I installed the Yahoo App, my wife now gets Ads in the
middle of her emails. The LG and Samsung mail Apps some way prevented
these Ads from appearing. My wife said she could live with the few ads
since she mainly reads Yahoo mail on the computer's 28" monitor which
is much better than the small smartphone screen....

Though you may still need to go through some extra steps to set up "less secure" app-specific password.

I wouldn't try. The whole idea behind those "app specific" passwords is that they are customized for each application you use to connect, rather
than being something that might be used in multiple places.

No, the application specific passwords generated by Yahoo are exactly that, and cannot be changed.
