All of a sudden Fastmail wants another password for Mailwasher server access (solved)
Follow up: Problem solved: A brief accidental switch in Mailwasher's settings for Fastmail from POP3 to IMAP and then back, changed the incoming address without my noticing. Fixed and solved.
I would note that the third-party app email still seems erroneous, since this is a Win 10 desktop and Mailwasher Pro is not like an app on a mobile device. Last edited by genegold99 : 22 Sep 2020 at 05:02 AM. |

What do you mean by "third-party app email"?
If you meant "app password" these are for any application that doesn't support 2FA. It's nothing to do with phones. Last edited by SideshowBob : 29 Sep 2020 at 01:09 AM. |

Then what does it have to do with, since it doesn’t have to do with a desktop/laptop?

I meant it's not specific to phones.

I didn’t say it here, but the term app seems to apply to mobile devices.

You're probably correct, although it seems to still be a minority usage. In any case, I didn't find that the Yahoo "app" applied to a PC. With Yahoo's changes, I couldn't get POP3 to work with Mailwasher, but found IMAP does.
