I followed 2024 apple community instructions on Cox/Yahoo email account set-up, using yahoo generated password and trying to set up Yahoo cox.net account under "other" email account with Yahoo imap/smpt settings. My Mac didn't recognize either my user name or email. Please provide updated instructions, step by step on how to set up my Yahoo cox.net account. Thank you.
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.1
Something you may or may not have seen already on the Cox Community: https://forums.cox.com/discussions/internet/using-yahoo-email-in-mac-os-mail-app/151730
The guidance at this site is that instead of setting up the Yahoo mail account in the Mail app, do so in System Settings... > Internet Accounts. You can read the details for yourself.
This is Apple’s guidance for adding an account to the Mail app on Mac: Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
If you still have trouble, contact your service provider for email account details.
Exactly where is the process failing?
Do you receive any error message?
Have you been in contact with the IT folks at Cox?
So, I'm at a bit of a loss for now.
Thanks very much. I truly appreciate your trying to help. I did see these instructions and made multiple attempts using them to create my account but failed each time. I’ll call Apple support tomorrow to see if they can help. Last resort is Outlook.
Thank you but this didn’t work on my new Mac Air.
