Yes, accessing my Yahoo account via web browser and creating an “App Password” for MailMate and using this password in MailMate to log in seems to have fixed this issue.

I don’t know why this problem isn’t showing up with my 3 other Yahoo accounts. Not that I’m complaining…

Thank you Alex for your suggestion.

No, I have not created any app-specific passwords for any of my Yahoo accounts. I would expect that other of the accounts would have this persistent error if this was the reason.

Maybe this is related to the 2-step verification that Yahoo has been touting, but I don’t think so: none of my other Yahoo accounts is having this issue.

Did you generate [third-party app passwords](https://help.yahoo.com/kb/generate-third-party-passwords-sln15241.htm) ?
