I'll get to your other questions in awhile. For now, I created an app
password, but am confused by the instructions about using the generated
pw one time.

"How to use this password
1. Sign into the app/service using your normal username
2. Instead of your normal password, enter the app password above"

Are they referring to signing into Yahoo Mail or Sylpheed? Since the
latter doesn't have a un or pw, I'm not sure what to make of it.
