My yahoo mail will not come in on my MAC. I can't send Text messages from my MAC. I get a message that authentication has failed. I have changed my yahoo password and get a message from Yahoo that I am signed in....but the MAC says authentication has failed. I am able to get email and send text messages on my other devices.
