How do I save all my historic Yahoo emails onto my Mac (Mojave op system)

I have to leave Yahoo due to hacking and need to save all my historic emails (1,000s). I have tried to set up a Yahoo POP account several times but can't get it to work. I used to be able to do this simply, but it appears things have changed over the years....Does anyone have any simple solutions in order to archive these messages?

(I have read some old responses to another thread but they were not clear or did not include step by step instructions.)

Thank you so much for your help with this!

Yahoo App password…

Generate and manage third-party app passwords

Some older, third-party email apps (that do not use our Yahoo branded sign in page) require you to enter a single password for login credentials. To access your Yahoo Mail account on these apps, you'll need to generate and use an app password. An app password is a long, randomly generated code that gives a non-Yahoo app permission to access your Yahoo account. You’ll only need to provide this code once to sign in to your third-party email app.
