MailWasher Free

[KarenO54]

Have the settings recently changed? I've had the Free program on my Windows 10 Home for quite a while with no issues. But in the last several days none of my emails will load onto Free. Please advise, thanks!

No, no one can change your MW settings remotely, (they're all stored locally on your own PC) likely your email provider has...? let us know what provider you use if you cannot find any issues....

Thanks for responding, gingbat.
My incoming server address: imap.mail.yahoo.com.
Outgoing: smtp.yahoo.com.
As far as I know, these haven't changed.
Any ideas?

Yes, those are correct, however are you using OAUTH? Microsoft (and possibly Yahoo?) are slowly disabling all app passwords so you need to be using the latest version of MWPro/free, and setup as per below screenshot so you use OAUTH instead of a plain password/SSL:

If that also fails, I'd recommend that you delete the problem email account first:

Click, Settings>>Accounts, click the account>>Remove Account.
Click File>>Exit to close MW, then re-open it.

Then setup the account/s again:

In Mailwasher click, Settings>>Accounts>>Add Email Account, type any name for this account you like, enter your email address and click Save.
Click the Incoming tab and click "Sign in with Yahoo", follow the prompts and you'll be asked for permission to allow MW access to the account, ensure you agree to this.
If it shows successful, click Save again on the outgoing tab, refresh folders on the IMAP tab (IF asked) and you are all set.

Thanks again, gingbat. I'm already using OAUTH, so I'll have to try your other suggestions. We'll see what happens.
