DM: Pretty sure it's not going to work to try to use both an app
password and 0auth2 -- it has to be one or the other I believe. If
Yahoo is like Gmail, you may also have to have 2FA enabled. I also saw
that another poster said that he got Yahoo working with Claws by
following the two Yahoo help pages, so I'm guessing you should have all
the info you need to get it working now. Cheers, ---Dustin

Except that for the server in Basic and Send one has to enter USERID and in Authorisation one has to enter USERID. If you don't it prompts for it.
