Feb.10, 2021 was the last snapshot email I received. I went into my camera smtp settings to look and test and I get a failed.
 
Yahoo put in place an App password, which has to be created and used, instead of your normal password:

DUDE, THANK YOU!!! its working again
 
I love when Yahoo does stuff like this: Change access requirements and and not tell anyone. My email stopped downloading about a week ago. I leaarned from a previous Yahoo requirement (untrusted apps or some such thing). So I was smart enough to log into Yahoo and saw app password. Had it generate a password, plugged that into the password field in Outlook and email downloaded. Gotta love Yahoo. :rolleyes:
