Thank you for a detailed, as usual, analysis. I followed your steps and 
found no solutions either.

In addition, my personal interpretation, based on [1] and [2], that non 
OAuth2 IMAP access will be permanently disabled from March 2nd, 2020 
thus making Evolution Mail completely unusable with Yahoo.

One of answers [3] mentions that Yahoo must explicitly enable Mail API:

In order for you to see the mail checkboxes in the list of potential 
scopes, Yahoo have to white-list your developer account. I could not 
find any documentation about this, or instructions for how to ask for 
it, so I can't back this up with any documentation.

Eugene.
