+Warwagon MVC Posted October 28, 2022 MVC Share Posted October 28, 2022 I'm getting Deja vu I thought my last answer was pretty good in the first thread. 😁 Just to clarify, you don't have to keep using it thunderbird, just use it as a means to transfer emails from one account to another.

Good Bot, Bad Bot Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 How did you get hacked? Where you not using 2FA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until recently, Yahoo did not support 2FA properly, requiring either a phone number (a proven 2FA risk) or their official mobile app. I was really (pleasantly) surprised when I suddenly saw 2FA support for 3rd party authentication apps suddenly show in the settings pane. For third party apps, it's best to use an app password with Yahoo, not only for the security, but also because POP3/IMAP authentication without so passwords has been broken for a long time on Yahoo (some clients will never work, some will work intermittently, some will have some features working but not others, etc.). In any case, my Yahoo email is no longer my main provider, ever since I switched over to ProtonMail. hellowalkman and Bruinator 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
