Hi,

I had received those kind of mails too in the last year. A few.

But then came these "Important security notice for Yahoo account" (or
AOL) and then in the mail body.

"We've noticed that you're using non-(Yahoo or AOL) applications".

"(Yahoo or AOL) will no longer support the current sign-in
functionality in your application starting on 20 October 2020"

And that creates the doubt.

And that also falls in the "app"/application ambiguity you were
talking before.

But it is here, that is referenced in the same mail:

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/SLN27791.html

- Access mail via Outlook for Mac
- Access mail via Outlook Desktop
- Access mail via Thunderbird
- Access mail via Windows Mail
- Access mail via Other Applications

To me it looks like they are there :)


We will see, as you say :) if no one else has another opinion.

15 days and counting down.
