I received the following rather problematic email from Yahoo this morning: > Hey David, > > We love that you love using your Yahoo Mail. And we want to make sure you > always have the best experience. That’s why we’re reaching out today. > > We’ve noticed that you’re using non-Yahoo applications (such as third-party > email, calendar, or contact applications) that may use a less secure sign-in > method.

This means that you will need to take one of the steps below to > continue using Yahoo Mail without interruption. > > But don’t worry, you have options.

I followed that others link and found some instructions for Thunderbird that involve deleting my current account and creating a new one. I have no intention of deleting my current account, I simply want to change my server settings to conform with their new "more secure" requirements. Has anyone else received this notice and made the required changes so that you can tell me how to fix this mess they are insisting on?
