Yahoo says the Mail App that came with my Nokia Lumia 720 is not secure enough, that I should get the most secure Mobile Mail App from Google App Store

    That would be odd advice, as apps in the Google App Store will not work on Windows Phones, where are you seeing this warning?

As stated in a previous question about the security of the Mail app, the app is only secure if you are using a secure mail server. The message given to you from Yahoo might be entailing that windows phones cannot use secure protocols for sending emails. The mail app is secure as I have been using it for 5 years and have had no security issues. The Mail app on Windows phone does use SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
