Just in case it helps anyone hoping to continue using email apps or email programs which Sky has not listed as now being authorised or compatible with their email servers, here is what I have managed to do in order to keep using the excellent "Pegasus Mail" (for Windows) and the superb "K-9" for Android.
Old apps and programs will continue to work if you simply use a password which Sky/Yahoo will generate for you! To generate passwords for Sky/Yahoo email accounts: at www.sky.com log-in by clicking the "Yahoo Mail Sign In" box, instead of "Come on in". Then enter the email address and your ordinary Sky password. This will take you to your email account. Open a new tab and enter www.sky.com, and below your account name select "My Details" (If you can’t find the "My Details" link, see the note below this paragraph.) If you have been able to click on "My Details" then scroll down to "Sky Yahoo Mail access" and click "Manage passwords". Answer the questions, then copy the generated password, then enter that password it into your email app or program wherever a password is needed. Some apps need only be given it once, others need it to be entered separately in the incoming server settings and the outgoing server settings. While you are doing this copy the password to a notepad document or somesuch, to keep in a secured place for possible future use. If you can’t find the "My Details" link referred to above, then after you have signed in just paste the following link to the generator into the address bar: https://skyid.sky.com/signin/skycom?successUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sky.com%2Fsky-yahoo-mail%2Fmanage-apps%3Fclient%3Demail&cancelUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sky.com%2F *Many thanks* to the half-dozen members of this community who have helped me implement the above procedure. I used it this afternoon to reconnect 3 Sky/Yahoo email accounts on four devices: - a Windows desktop using the Rolls Royce of email clients, "Pegasus Email", - a Linux laptop using the "Thunderbird" email client, - an Android Tablet using the marvellous "K-9" email app, and - an Android Phone also using the marvellous "K-9" email app. The whole process happened flawlessly, and all is now perfect again in my Internet world! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "K-9 Mail" group.
