Hi Gary,
that means you originall set up your account with oAuth login, which is the safe, correct way to do it. But this login is now broken and we need to wait for Yahoo to fix it.
In the meantime, the only way to use your Yahoo account in eM Client is to go to Menu>Accounts, Add Account, and instead od Automatic setup use MAIL>OTHER
please can some share yahoo settings

Hi @ziamehmood
There is a problem and you should read the earlier post by @Olivia_Rust for more information.
¡Saludos desde la soleada España!

@ziamehmood & @samK according to the Yahoo website these are the manual IMAP or POP settings to be entered via EMClient Account via the “Other” option as Olivia advised. Good luck 
IMAP is the best way to connect your Yahoo Mail account to a desktop mail client or mobile app. It allows 2-way syncing, which means everything you do remotely is reflected in your Yahoo Mail account no matter where or how you access it. Here are the settings you’ll need to configure your mail client or app.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
Your login info
POP (Post Office Protocol) is one way to get Yahoo Mail in a desktop or mobile app. POP downloads copies of your email, so you can move and delete them in the app without affecting the original emails.
Incoming Mail (POP) Server
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
Your login info
In case anyone gets confused because email clients and providers all use different terminology for SSL and TLS, these are the combinations to use when manually setting up an account in eM Client:
SMTP
Port 587 = Force usage of SSL/TLS
Port 25 = Use SSL/TLS if available
Port 465 = Use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy)
IMAP
Port 993 = Use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy)
Port 143 = Use SSL/TLS if available
So for that one, you want to select the security policy Use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy)

Yahoo Accounts and eM Client
These are the manual settings I am using and everything is working fine for now.

Hi,
I appreciate your suggestions. However, I have not yet had success.
My smtp test fails. My imap test just repeatedly requests credentials, then rejects. I am using the correct new password.
Beyond frustrated … this should not be 3 weeks to resolve.
Gary
Did you upgrade your version of eM Client to the version that includes the Yahoo! fix?
What version are you now using? (Menu > Help > About)
I have had no communication telling me there is a fix. No I have not upgraded in the last 3 weeks.
8.0.3385
I have found that the password required is different than what I expected. My ‘normal’ Yahoo password is not one needed apparently - though that is not made very clear in pop-ups. I had to generate a password, which was not necessary when I first downloaded and started using emClient.
I have had IMAP success, but still not SMTP success.
Gary
There was an announcement on this forum:
Please update eM Client and see if the problem persists.
Well, I have downloaded the fix for v8. It now gets me to a password enter pop-up from Yahoo.
But I always get password incorrect. I have tried both my Yahoo password, and the app password I generated.
I still have the manual set-up acct in emClient, since I dont have the auto acct working yet. Is the app password from Yahoo only good for one acct?
I could live with using my manual set-up acct. But it doesnt have the Calendar. Is there a way to add that? I dont recall selecting only mail from the set-up.
Gary
When you use the Automatic Setup, it should add email, calendars and contacts. If you setup the account manually, then only email will be there. You can add the calendar as a separate account.
What I would suggest though, to overcome all the issues, and have the calendar setup with the email account, is to remove your Yahoo! account from eM Client, then set it up again using the Automatic Setup.
I don’t use Yahoo! but I believe you need a separate app password for each account. Maybe a Yahoo! user can confirm that.
Thanks for your help.
When i delete an account, it informs me all local folders will be deleted. I have saved many emails to local folders, so I have them archived. I dont want them deleted. What will happen to my local email folders if i delete the auto acct?
Gary
If the account is setup as IMAP, then the messages are stored on the server, so nothing will be deleted. After removing the account from eM Client, then adding the account again, it will resync those messages from the server.
To check if you are using IMAP, go to Menu > Accounts. You will see either an IMAP or POP3 tab.
If the account is setup as POP3, then the messages are stored in local folders and not on the server. Removing a POP3 account from eM Client will also delete the local folders for that account.
There is a difference between a POP3 local folder, and Local Folders.
When you delete a POP3 account, the local set of folders (1 above) will be deleted.
Messages stored in Local Folders (2 above) will never be deleted when you remove an account.
If in doubt, always make a backup using Menu > Backup, before deleting an account.
I too am having problems adding my outlook account (upgraded so I could add this account!). I have downloaded the updated version 8.0.3499. I have followed instructions and still getting " this folder contains no items and no operation can be performed". If I check settings I get “imap-mail.outlook.com” not “imap.mail.outlook.com” and use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy). port is 993. Similar thing with SMTP, - instead of . etc etc.
I have tried both automatic and manual set up and still nothing works,
Any help would be much appreciated. Would rather get this sorted than get a refund which i have asked for.
This thread is discussing issues with Yahoo! not Outlook.
But anyway, your settings should look like this:
That is what is used for the Automatic Setup, and works on my computer.
If it is not working for you, when are you getting this error? Can you give a screen-shot?
Thank you for your reply, sorry got Outlook and Yahoo mixed up - this is my first venture in to forums, not sure how to get into the Outlook thread!
This is how the screen looks - not sure if you will see this
Here are my settings
They are the same as yours.
I just get the red triangle and if I click on that a Connection Failed notice
If you can’t see the images give me a hint on what to do
OK, what is happening is that the initial sync has not happened for the Outlook.com account. Once it has, your Inbox will appear at 3, the same as for accounts 1 and 2 below. Then the message 4 will be replaced by your emails.
One thing you can try is to go to Menu > Accounts and remove the Outlook.com account. Then, with your anti-virus application disabled, add the account again. Once it has completed the initial sync, the folders will appear.
