Question asked on Sep 1, 2017

I changed my Yahoo Password.  Then I tried to input my new password into Win Live Mail to download email.  Yahoo requires second authorization now, and I have it set up in my Yahoo account to get the code on my cell phone.  But Windows Live Mail never asks if I want or even need to verify - in fact it just sits there and times out.  I am sure Yahoo is waiting for the Auth code - but how can I get live mail to ask for it.

I resolved this issue with the browsers and with my Android and my Kindle - but Windows live Mail seems determined not to work.  How do I fix it.  And I have already deleted and reinstalled the account.  I have already cleaned all history, cache and cookies - nothing works.
