yahoo mail on mail app not working

The mail app on my macbook pro keeps on asking for my password for my yahoo mail. So silly me deletes my mail accounts and the setting on the mail app configuring the outgoing and incoming mail servers. Can someone help me as to what I need to type for the incoming and outgoing mail servers. Also why does mail keep asking for my password? I deleted all of my passwords on keychain access but that still didn't work.



These are my current settings.


Incoming-imap.mail.yahoo.com


outgoing-smtp.mail.yahoo.com


Mail still keeps asking me for my password which is getting really annoying and I can't get any incoming mail.


Also I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.3


MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

I see. Well I never had this problem up until I upgraded my software to Mountain Lion and that entire time I had the free Yahoo email account so I don't see why it wouldn't work. But thanks for the reply.
