Prior to this update, I had no issue with Outlook for Mac and Yahoo. I just updated to 16.73 (23051401). After updating, I had many problems with the Yahoo mail from within Outlook. It worked for the first 15 minutes, then got login errors and IMAP errors. I deleted the Yahoo account from Outlook and then quit. I then went back to Yahoo and got a new app password. I restarted Outlook and added the new app password obtained from Yahoo. It worked for the first 15 minutes then started to suddenly empty out all emails in all folders. Then the emails would eventually re-sync and reload from Yahoo. This now happens constantly. I tried the same uninstall reinstall process again, and nothing changed. Now also changes I make within Yahoo via my browser are not reflected in Outlook and changes made to Yahoo mail within Outlook are not saved when the emails clear, res-sync and reload, and they are not reflected in Yahoo online either. It's stuck in a loop. New emails DO ARRIVE and get added to the loop. Also there is a constant attempt to recreate the basic Yahoo folders: Drafts, Archive, Junk, Bulk. I get error messages saying can't be installed because they already exist - which they do! Why is it trying to reinstall them as if it is a new connection with Yahoo?
My setup is the following using OUTLOOK for MAC - BUT NOT NEW OUTLOOK. New Outlook does not support all the folders I have created over the years for organization and am unwilling to lose. I have a 16 inch MBPro M1 Max chip. Running Monterey 12.6.5.
AS a side note, I have for the past year or more had problems where white-listing emails does not work. Outlook is putting emails of people I email with regularly into SPAM. I whitelisted many of them, but Outlook is ignoring the classification and still putting those emails into SPAM.

Yikes---curious as to where you heard that Rules will be supported in November? I need the Rules feature as well. That is a long time from now. I can't understand why Microsoft would reduce functionality with "New" software.
I'm just loath to update to New Outlook until Rules are supported, which I have heard is expected by November. I use SpamSieve, and let me tell you, this whole kerfuffle seems to center, at least to me, around junk e-mail filtering on AOL's part, and I assume Yahoo's as well. I may just ride this out, since I simply preferred Outlook to Apple Mail in the past. Let's just see how frustrated we get here...
I was using Mac Mail for my IMAP Yahoo and worked, but isn't very smooth. I upgraded to the new Outlook and changed some of the setting to customize so it doesnt look and feel like gmail, but is lacking full customization. Everything upgraded successfully even my calendar (which was previously missing when after this legacy Outlook stuff happened). New Outlook didn't "erase and re add". It was pretty consistent over 3 days, but is still really awkward and unpleasant so I switched back to the Legacy Outlook. Took about 1 minute and everything disappeared again. :(
So what am I saying? The new Outlook works fine without the issues, and all my calendars and folders and subfolder propagated but took about an hour. I was able to change the view so it didnt look like gmail, but I couldnt make the left hand column white...it maintained the grayish color which was really annoying. When I went back to Legacy, the Calendar disappeared again.
I'm back to Mac Mail until this nonsense is fixed, or MS allows for more visual customizations on New Outlook.
Rats... it worked fine for a couple of hours and now the "All done for the day" thing is back. Hmph.
I set my update options to take on the 16.75.23061307 update from the "Current Channel (Preview)" and so far after even a half hour, the vanishing inbox problem seems to be solved.
Prior to this update, the "all done" thing appeared within two minutes of opening Outlook.
