Windows 10 Mail Sync Error

Trying to sync a yahoo account to the Windows Mail App
Here is a recap of what keeps happening:
+Add Account>Choose Yahoo Mail>Type credentials>Account settings successful
Not sync'd yet>choose sync
Error>Your account settings are not up to date>Fix Account>Askes for password>type password again
Attention required> asks for password>entered password
"We didn't find anything to show here"

Checked windows privacy settings to make sure under email that apps can access was turned on.

So the app mail and calendar has access to the calendar under Settings > privacy > calendar?

And you verified that this is your current yahoo logon password? Try with a different mail account, then, please.

This was the issue - had to enable the two-step authentication and generate an app password.
Thanks for the help!
