I've been sort of noticing it taking a long time for an item to show in Yahoo mail.
Today, however, I got some pretty good confirmation: and email forward that split to two targets, yahoo and another email box: the yahoo mail arrived about 30 minutes later.
For two concurrent mailings - not a one-off event.
Anyone else see this?

My wife uses a Yahoo mail account and we've seen that kind of behavior quite often. Just last week trying to get confirmation email it took a long time.

I have not had any issues. I have the mobile app installed and I get the emails come through fairly promptly (and from a variety of sources too).
I'm UK based through, so it could make a difference.

Is it possible to write a MFC application targeting Windows XP?
I have Visual Studio 2019 enterprise version. I have a legacy software still running on Windows XP, but it needs a utility software to prepare some data.

IIRC, it's impossible in VS 2019.
VS 2017 has an XP target. If you meet the conditions for the target audience (work for yourself or for a company with 5 or fewer programmers and under a certain level of revenue), you can download VS 2017 Community Edition and use that. Otherwise, you'll have to spring for the Pro edition.
VS 2017 and 2019 may be installed side-by-side.

I do have Visual Studio 2017 version on my laptop.
do I need to deploy any C++ runtime files?

Not if you statically link --

You have to ensure that the XP target is installed. Otherwise, I assume that if you use dynamic linking you will have to include the appropriate runtime DLLs in your installation package, If you use static linking, you will need to distribute only your executable and any DLLs that are part of your project.
You may distribute the XP runtime DLLs on the same basis that you distribute runtime DLLs for applications targeted at later Windows versions. Note that unless it does something special with the hardware, a program targeted for XP should run on any later version of Windows as well.

Not quite - you can install the VS2017 (v141) toolset in VS2019, together with the (now Deprecated) XP support MFC libraries for that toolset.
Bit more convoluted, but it is still possible...

Yes, you can do this, but you still need to get VS2017 from somewhere...

No, you don't - the VS2017 toolset, including XP & MFC bits are part of the VS2019 installer.
Hit the 'Modify' button in the VS2019 installer, select 'Individual Components' and search for 'v141'. It shows you all the VS2017 compiler & linker components you can install as part of VS2019.

OK, I never noticed that. My bad...

Man you made my day. Now I can recompile the old sdl library without worry (yeah I know Windows 10 doesn't allow direct video memory access, but other stuff still works)

As others have said, you have two issues: the correct SDK and a not to new IDE. I support legacy apps dating from 2005. The dev tools will only run under Xp, so I have a VM dating that far back.
I live in the embedded world. About 2010, Microsoft development went insane. They decided to abandon WinCE alienating a lot of people. A few years later, therapy helped them realize that the IoT (embedded) was going to be a big player, so they tried to get righteous. The issue is that the tool set got really flakey for supporting things. My point - choose the IDE wisely. On my Xp machine, I use VS2008 Pro. This is the last tool I can use for WinCE/WEC7 development. But that's my problem. If you're just doing a desktop app, you might get away with something newer.
I do recommend a VM.

I have a legacy Windows XP machine. I have Visual Studio 2005 too.

You should be good then. Just install the last SDK Microsoft released for Xp.

i find that "Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK" in .iso format works very good with anything from windows xp to windows 10, though "Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK" is also a popular option.
i would go with the former.

Anyone know how to remove the stupid "structure lines" from VS2019?
The horizontal dotted lines in this Screenshot
I've turned off "View Whitespace" and "Show Structure Guide Lines" in Tools => Options => Text Editor.

That toggled on some little right arrows above the dotted line.
