[MlMt] Yahoo sign-in problem

[Dave C]

Yes, accessing my Yahoo account via web browser and creating an “App 
Password” for MailMate and using this password in MailMate to log in 
seems to have fixed this issue.

I don’t know why this problem isn’t showing up with my 3 other Yahoo 
accounts. Not that I’m complaining…
