"caisson,"
You are so RIGHT about many another having the same issue. They all seem to think it may have to do with their email client or AT&T which is not the case. It is an internal server error from Yahoo! that is having issues with matching their email addy and the password which to me means it is not connecting to the correct server to find the password that goes with the email addy. I have had this issue since about 2010 and have talked with AT&T even elevating to Tier 2 and they are CLUELESS!
I have three (3) email accounts and at one time or another they each have been rejected for POP3ing my incoming mail, it has NOTHING to do with outgoing mail only the inbound. If they would just wait about 10 to 20 seconds and check mail again they will get a different server and download their mail. That is what I have been doing and not any problem just a short delay.
When I managed to get hold of Yahoo! to see what could be done, they told me it was AT&T's problem, WRONG, my email client tells me it is a server at Yahoo! as a matter of fact here are the servers that are doing this to us:
pop219.sbc.mail.gq1.yahoo.com, pop336.sbc.mail.gq1.yahoo.com, pop334.sbc.mail.gq1.yahoo.com, pop333.sbc.mail.gq1.yahoo.com
If any one can get this information to Yahoo! maybe we can have some results.
