linking yahho and outlook 2013 problem
Hi
Have been using outlook linked to my yahoo email for many years without any issues. My old laptop is dying so want to move all my outlook data files to another laptop before it finally expires. The old laptop was running office 2007 and windows 10 home. The new laptop also running windows 10 home but office 2013. first tried to manually setup the link using name email address acc type - pop3 incoming - pop.mail.yahoo.com outgoing - smtp.mail.yahoo.com outgoing server requires authentication use same settings as incoming incoming server 995 outgoing server 465 for the password I used the password I use to access my yahoo account (which definitely still works for my Yahoo acc) Did not work - couldnt send test email I then tried the 'quicker' route by generating an app password. My yahoo account shows an app password already existing for Outlook Desktop generated in feb 2021 and last used august this year - all of that was news to me as i do not recollect generating any password so perhaps done automatically. Anyhow i could not retrieve that password so I decided to generate a new one. After doing all that and using the newly created password in the outlook email setup - same result couldnt connect. The app password is 16 letters and 3 spaces. Couldnt cut and paste as working on 2 separate laptops but tried the password with and without spaces. Same result would not connect Everything still seems to be working fine on my old laptop but no joy with the new one Hope this is something very simple !! Any ideas please |
