I changed my Yahoo! password and Automatic Organizer stopped working
After authorizing Automatic Organizer to organize my Yahoo! Mail account, I changed my Yahoo! password. Now, Organizer is no longer working. How do I fix this?
I’m happy

Inappropriate?The first time you authorize Automatic Organizer to connect to your Yahoo! Mail account, Yahoo! provides OIB with access in such a manner that your password is never revealed.
Unfortunately, if you change your Yahoo! password, this connection is broken. There are a few steps necessary to make this connection again. We are working with Yahoo! to make this process as simple as possible.
In the meantime, please follow these steps to re-connect Automatic Organizer to your Yahoo! Mail account after changing your Yahoo! password.
1) Find the Applications list in Yahoo! Mail (bottom, left-hand corner). Click on the "plus" sign at the top, right-hand corner to open the Application Gallery.
2) Locate "Automatic Organizer in this list. Click Remove. DO NOT click OK (yet). Click "Account Sign-in Settings".
3) After confirming your Yahoo! credentials, uncheck the box next to "http://my.otherinbox.com" to deactivate and click Continue.
4) Go back to the Application Gallery. As before, click Remove next to Automatic Organizer. This time, click OK. It may take up to a minute for the application to remove.
5) When the application is completely removed, add it again. Then, click Automatic Organizer in your application list and authorize the application as you did the first time.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?When you re-add and re-authorize Automatic Organizer, you may receive numerous emails soon thereafter notifying you that a new sender has been recognized in your Inbox.
This is a bug that we are working to fix. I apologize for the inconvenience of receiving so many unnecessary emails. -
Inappropriate?I've done the above steps. More than 2 hours later, nothing has changed.
I’m still frustrated.

I'm sorry that this did not work for you. One more thing we can try is for me to delete your account information on our end and start the process over again. Would that be ok with you? -
yeah, that's ok. i deleted my account from my.otherinbox.com and started oib up again on yahoo and that seems to have fixed the problem.
