Adding a mail account to MacBook 10.13

I have been successful in adding the same mail account to my iPhone & iMac, but, no success with my laptop "Unable to verify account name or password" I have checked my info with my mail provider, all is well. Any thoughts? Can accounts be entered manually? Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Who is the eMail provider?


Many eMail providers now require a separate App Password, without notifying users…

Or it may just need an App Password...

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.
