For a week now I have been unable to access Yahoo Mail via Outlook. The message states: Connection to the server was interrupted. I have tried EVERYTHING recommended by Yahoo and nothing is working.

In case something must be modified in your yahoo.com settings, check with yahoo support.

Iván Markman 0 Reputation points2025-08-27T18:08:06.81+00:00 I have tried all of the below, with the exception of a new profile. What's interesting, is that I can send the test email when I try to repair manually, but when I synch it doesn't work and it states that it can't connect with IMAP. What's most interesting is that the new Outlook does work, so it seems to be an issue with the legacy version (which I like much better btw).
I think it is related with Auth-type issues on the Microsoft side as it doesn't allow me to log into my account when I click on view my account button top right.
Any other workarounds/thoughts will be welcome!
