Solutions
Solution 1: Secure your Account to the Maximum Level
If the security of the account is compromised, Yahoo might stop serving emails to the client from its servers. It’s a bit difficult to predict what might happen after that as Yahoo doesn’t disclose everything publicly, therefore the reasons behind this issue can also be speculated upon. But improving the security settings of your Yahoo account might prove beneficial; therefore, this method is worth trying out.
