YAHOO MAIL and email apps
I see from searching there are others who have a problem similar but not the same as mine. For no reason Windows started to report that accounts in the Windows Mail app needed fixing. Google was not affected but Outlook and Yahoo were and many attempts to fix them failed. The procedure to add a 'new' account simply did not work. I was advised to uninstall / reinstall them, which worked for Windows Mail but not for Yahoo, which I have used without bother for years (and is still OK on my Android tablet).. No one has so far been able to advise me what to do.
At first I thought it must be a problem specific to the Mail app, but not now. When I installed a couple of other apps from the Store, I was not surprised when one gave me access to my Yahoo account because it is only (but is still useful) a front end to the online versions of the apps, with which I had been able to access Yahoo from the begining. But the other one, an impressive app called Touch Mail is also unable to add my Yahoo account. Which I presume means the fault lies with Yahoo itself. What I get is a report that, while the account is listed (unlike with Mail) it is 'unable to connect'. Neither Yahoo nor Microsoft's forum or my ISP have as yet provided a solution.
Can someone assist, even if it is only a link to a relevant conversation in this forum?
