Did you make sure your POP is setup according to:

with regard to ports and SSL/TLS?

It shows that the "app password" was recognised.

Don't do it.  As I said, use your "app password" in Sylpheed
with all of your Yahoo account.  You never need the main
Yahoo password in Sylpheed.  The "app password" is not a
one-time password.  It should stay in the client.

I think so, if you keep getting error 535 "Too many bad auth
attempts.
