This isn’t anything you did wrong, Classic Outlook has basically stopped playing nice with Yahoo/Cox accounts after recent updates. A lot of people are stuck in the same loop. The only real fixes right now are using the new Outlook, switching to POP instead of IMAP, or just using Cox/Yahoo webmail. Microsoft and Yahoo keep blaming each other, so a proper fix doesn’t seem to be coming anytime soon
