Outlook has stopped talking to yahoo

[John105491]

I have an email problem.

I can access my emails through sky and directly with Yahoo but my access via outlook has stopped! 
As I generally only use outlook for emails it's a problem. I can access outlook but the software just sits on the send/receive window and goes no further.

I get a pop up window which shows the server (pop.mail.yahoo.com), the user name and password. I put in my sky password (not the windows one, although I've tried both) with no luck!

there is a reported error 0x8004210A, the operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving POP server.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

The password you should be using for Outlook, is one you can generate here:

https://www.sky.com/sky-yahoo-mail/manage-apps

However I'm not sure I would expect that error message if it is a password problem, but give that a go first.
