I think the answer is in a post I just stumbled across. Apparently they've implemented a policy where you have to successfully complete a CAPCHA every so often for each e-mail account, or they block SMTP/POP3 access until you do. So, to keep it working, you have to login to the WEB interface (watch a few ads, complete a CAPCHA) every so often. I do not know what the frequency is.
Yes, I think it's stupid.

Even if stupid, I'll do it if it would work. I googled CAPCHA so I know what that is now, but how do I force that? I tried going to the web interface of my email and logging out and logging back in, but it didn't ask me to do anything special....

That is rather stupid. We use computers to simplify our work and our life, not make it harder. They shouldn't be throwing roadblocks into that. Does yahoo want people to run their own mail server or switch to a different email provider.
P.S. Why is AT&T's yahoo mail offering only available in POP, when Yahoo supports IMAP?

I can see where e-mail providers do not want to be flooded with constant redundant e-mails.

I fail to see why a few emails to alert me of a trigger to a security camera would be considered a problem for the ISP. I receive what seems like a million emails from countless vendors all day long, and a few outgoing messages is a problem?

I am having this same problem on ATT DSL. My camera has been emailing me fine for a couple of years but it stopped working this week.
Has anyone found the fix for this?

I did try logging in at the att com page, but it did not help. http://www.att.com/#fbid=1GgVCPTmxLJ
Is this the CAPCHA that you are referring to?
I did not think this was the problem since I am still able to send emails from windows mail on my ATT account.
My camera has been working for a while with the following settings:
Email Transfer
SMTP Server IP Address or Host Name: smtp.att.yahoo.com
Port No.(Usually Use 25): 25
Since it stopped working I have tried changing the host name to outbound.att.net and I tried changing the port settings to Port 587 then Port 465. None of these changes caused the email to start working again.
