Apple Mail Ymail Yahoo

Apple mail keeps asking for my Ymail password. It's an Ymail Imap account at Yahoo.

No problem with my Gmal accounts or my iCloud account. Any help would be

appreciated.

I think it is documented problems with free ymail/yahoo/IMAP outside of using the browser.


note that using IMAP on a desktop client IS NOT recommended by Yahoo! nor supported by the Mail team. This would explain the lack of push notifications and shows that the implementation of the protocol has not been fully made.



There is the paid version- which is what they are trying to steer you towards?
