Hi there!

I'm Louie, a Microsoft Community member and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. Hope you're doing well and safe there.

I suggest you to try this steps and see if it works:

Step 1:

  1. Open the Mail app.
  2. Click on Settings.
  3. Select Manage accounts.
  4. Click on your Yahoo account.
  5. Choose Remove this account from this device.

Step 2:

  1. Open any web browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, or any other that you regularly use)
  2. Sign in into Yahoo mail with your ID and password.
  3. On the top-right corner click on your name and choose Account info.
  4. In the next section, you need to select Account security.
  5. You’ll now have a new tab; towards the bottom of the page, click on “Manage app passwords”. click the same
  6. When a dropdown menu appears, you need to choose Other app.
  7. Click on “Generate“. Now, Yahoo mail will produce a 16 character password for your account. Copy the same.
  8. Now, reopen the Windows Mail app to fix code 0x8019019a.
  9. Go to Settings and then Manage accounts as you have done in the starting.
  10. Click +Add account.
  11. Note that this time, don’t choose the Yahoo option. Instead of that, select Other account (POP, IMAP).
  12. Type in your Yahoo email address
  13. When it asks for the password, paste in the 16 Char password you just copies from Yahoo.
  14. Type your Name and select Save.

Adding the Yahoo account this way did work for several people without getting Mail App Error code 0x8019019a in Windows 10.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Louie

    I have tried this but there was no option at the bottom of page to change and I scaled it down to 100%. I am not sure why the tab is missing on the security settings on my login?

    Hi I had all this after a MS update, and so I have reduced the size of the display and lo and behold it was hidden under the bar at the bottom of the page. Stupid thing was I could not "scan" down to it. I have now set the page to about 95%. Hope it works, R

    I have tried all of these tips but when I login to the yahoo or sky email there is no tab at the bottom of the screen to generate a password. There is only change password which gives ma another error and says health check is fine.

    I cannot get to the tabs suggested.
