I got prompted by Yahoo to disable access for apps that use less secure sign-in methods to get my email.
This sounded like a good thing to do, but now I constantly get prompted for my username and password in Outlook and it no longer downloads my emails and I can’t send anymore either.
I know my username and password are correct as they still work when I try to login to Yahoo Mail in my browser.
How can I re-enable Outlook to collect my email again, preferably by using the more secure sign-in method the original prompt was referring to?

To troubleshoot some sending and receiving issues, I'd like to see the original message source as a whole as it is received. Right now, I can only see the Internet Message Header and the source code of HTML messages but not the entire (MultiPart) message.
For further analyzing, is there any way to reveal to the original message source as it was received by Outlook rather then the cut of header and interpreted body?

In Outlook 2010 on Windows 7, I was able to alter the “New Mail Desktop Alert” duration to up to 30 seconds in Outlook or perpetual via your mentioned Registry key modification.
Now that I’m using Outlook 2013 on Windows 8, the new mail alerts are only visible for 5 seconds and I can’t find an option to change that in Outlook 2013 nor does the Registry hack do anything.
Is there a way to get these mail alerts to show for longer than 5 seconds for Outlook 2013 on Windows 8?

In Outlook 2003 and previous, I could type my categories directly. With Outlook 2007, I can only select categories. I've got many categories and scrolling through the list is a rather cumbersome process.
Is there any way to assign categories again by typing them instead of selecting them?
