Outlook NOT WORKING with Yahoo mail

In previous months, I would have a day, now and then, when my AT&T / Yahoo mail account would stop working. Almost always, it would be back online the following day.

About t0 =12 days ago, it stopped working again and now can not be fixed. What's going on?

I have followed all the appropriate instructions on settings including IMAP server names, etc. & Advanced Settings.

You may need to adjust your Yahoo account to "Allow apps that use less secure sign in" to get Outlook to connect:

Thank you for your attention to this.

When I sign in to account and click 'Account Security' the only thing that appears is about my password - change / whatever.

For whatever reason, my Outlook client is now talking to my Yahoo server and I can receive and send emails. 

HOWEVER, there's still a glitch.  When I first open Outlook all of my current mail shows in my Inbox. Then, ... if I click on sent mail, it only shows emails sent from 3 weeks ago when it stopped working - nothing current. THEN, when I return to my Inbox, no current emails are shown, just ones that arrived 3 weeks ago at the breakdown point.

Dear RTH, would you mind sharing how you fixed the issue?    My Outlook client stopped receiving emails from my yahoo account just over a week ago; now I get constant prompts to input my password, and even if I input the password, the prompt simply repeats itself.  I've already had yahoo set up to "allow apps that use less secure login" so I'm wondering what else I need to do to restore access via Outlook.   (I can access via the web without problems).   Any guidance you could offer would be most appreciated!    JPS
