I changed my yahoo password and now I am not getting my email on my iMac only. I’ve tried multiple times to login and used every option to no avail. I can login on Yahoo website without any problems. I still get all my email on my iPhone and iPad but nothing updating on iMac. Is this something I can fix myself? Or will I need to pay for professional help. I don’t want to subscribe for help.
If your Yahoo account is POP you must have Yahoo generate a PW on their site in the security section. You cannot use one you generated. If you are using IMAP then your PW that you made should work. I also would do what Libby101a suggested by deleting and then setting up your account again.
Have you tried removing your Yahoo mail account and adding it back yet ?
Go to your mail app, click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner, click on settings, accounts, then click on your mail account, and click the minus (-) sign below that. Then simply click the plus (+) to add the account back.
If that doesn't work please see this article for more steps: If you can’t send or receive email on your Mac - Apple Support
I tried deleting my account but now won’t let me add it back. I seem to be having other issues with updating my MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. Just spinning. Working on that also. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
Did delete but now won’t let me add back. Still working on updating software and will deal with email! 😩
