    Finally restored access to two Yahoo Mail accounts via MS Outlook. Had to use new app specific passwords, generated by Yahoo. Free email accounts are convenient and fine until you get a problem. Then the lack of support becomes apparent.

    @wholemilk @freakboy3742 1 of the issues i encountered is say. Hotmail/Yahoo Mail.etc suddenly dropping all your emails. Then you suddenly have lots of affected users who can't login. Not just those who have forgotten their password.

  • KFIweb Wayne Kessler (@KFIweb) reported

    "I don't know what emails you are missing. I already told you your problem, and I can't help you. I can't fix Yahoo mail." Finally - he's moved away from Yahoo. Pithy works, sometimes.
