I need to know what the required OAUTH settings are for connecting to ATT / Yahoo POP3 Web Mail.

QUESTION............:
Can someone explain the exact settings needed for OAUTH ATT / Yahoo POP3 Web Mail?

NOTEs:
-- Mailwasher Pro (v. 7.12.125) stopped working with OAUTH ATT / Yahoo POP3 Web Mail in the last week for no apparent reason.

Thanks for your help,
Steve

OK, I figured out how to make Mailwasher Pro start working again for my ATT / Yahoo POP3 Web Mail.

SOLUTION: Changed Password FROM "ATT Login Password" TO "Secure Mail Key" [generated in user's online ATT account]

NOTES:
(From the two dated notes below, one can see that the ATT/Yahoo Web Mail Software has "Flipped Flopped" between requiring "ATT Login Password" or "Secure Mail Key" as the password ).........:

- 2023-07-13 (TODAY) -- Mailwasher Pro starts working gain...
Solution was to change Password to.. "Secure Mail Key", instead of my "ATT Account Password"

- 2023-03-02 -- Mailwasher Pro starts working gain...
Solution was to change Password to.. "ATT Account Password", instead of my "Secure Mail Key" [generated
in user's online ATT account]

For Reference,
below are the settings I am using in MailWasher Pro TODAY for my now working ATT / Yahoo POP3 Web Mail .
