I can't sync my yahoo mail account.  My computer says that I need to "fix account". When I follow the prompts, another message tells me that there was an error. I don't know what to do now

    This error often happens when you don't use SSL to secure your email account. To fix this error, use the following steps.

    1-Choose Settings > Manage Accounts.

    2-Choose the account that's out-of-date to display the account settings dialog.

    3-Choose Change mailbox sync settings > Advanced mailbox settings. You may have to scroll down in the dialog to see Advanced mailbox settings.

    4-Check the boxes for Require SSL for incoming email and Require SSL for outgoing email and then choose Done > Save.

    Microsoft has added OAuth support for Yahoo! accounts in the Windows 10 Creators update. To install the Creators Update now, go to the software download site, and select Update now. For more information about the update, see Windows 10 Creators Update is here.

    Hi, I'm Robinson, an Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you.

    Which app you are using to sync? Outlook or Mail app?
