Troubleshooting Yahoo! Mail:


Use a New App Password for Each Device:

Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Create a unique on for each device. Remove the current one, and then use the new one instead. Sometimes, changes (i.e. updates) are made to the device, and then mail server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new App Password it intended to fix).:

As an Example, here is the Yahoo! App Password Link: Generate and manage third-party app passwords | Account Help | Yahoo

"Tried a different browser, Google Chrome, and I was able to get the ATT email to work. I had been using Safari, but after clearing out the cache and cookies, it still wouldn't work. Guess I'll stick with Chrome for now. Thanks again."

You are welcome.


Non-Apple-Friendly:

Not all companies' sites are user-friendly with apple products. Typically, you see this with Bank accounts and School accounts.
