cox has transferred their email to yahoo, now outlook will not accept the email account how do you connect

Thanks Dean - I'll give it a look!

Might look there.

Don’t see why not. It’s pretty much a generic connection. Just cannot use your general yahoo password.

Update: My second email address still has not been able to receive emails in Outlook even though the same procedures were followed that successfully got my first email address to both send and receive emails in Outlook. It seems to however send messages from Outlook successfully.

THEN for some unknown reason, my first email address that was operational stopped working today. Outlook is neither sending nor receiving emails from the account that was functioning properly. Why would this have stopped working?

The reported error was 0x8004210A. I have not made any changes to the server timeout, the internet connection is stable, I have not turned on any new antivirus email scanners and have repaired the email account numerous times with the pop.mail.yahoo.com port 993 for incoming messages and smtp.mail.yahoo.com port 465 for outgoing mail. Additionally the Yahoo third party app generated password was copied and entered in Outlook as my password.

Any help would be appreciated.

YES I THINK IT WILL WORK

I followed the video and it seemed to work then did not. You must log into yahoo with cox.net email password go to security and "generate PASSWORD (When you login to yahoo remember the password you created when you first logged in and made up a new password) Once logged into yahoo Go to security and generate password for "outlook" . COPY the generated password. Go to outlook and enter all the stuff login name *** Email address is removed for privacy *** set the xxxx.mail.yahoo.com on both incoming server and outgoing server make sure the ports are set correctly. Then login to outlook. It will ask for the password. This is the one generated and when it says to update do it! I was under the impression it was a one time password and did not save. It seems this generated is the pasword Outlook will use. DO keep your new password you made up to log into yahoo. YOU DO NOT NEED THE GENERATED PASSWORD.

NOW MY ONLY PROBLEM IS MOST ALL MAIL GOES TO THE YAHOO CREATED 'Bulk" mailbox and not my inbox. How do I solve this problem?

I cannot find any active filters in yahoo for my account there none in outlook.

If there were away to transfer mail (move) from bulk to inbox that might work It does not seem to. Also rules for inbox don't seem to work on the mail moved from "bulk" to inbox.
