I have not being able to access my yahoo mail through "Mail" I checked all steps and they are done correctly. What else could be the problem. I used it with no problems for months. Know it keeps asking my password and yahoo mail does not work.

Hello Margarita,


Can you use the same login in a browser to get the Webmail version?


Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.


You may have multiple entries.


Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter


The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...


This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.


If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.


The receiving email ports are:


IMAP is port 143

IMAP-SSL is port 993

POP is port 110

POP-SSL is port 995

Outgoing ports are...

SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
