How to fix "Server Unavailable" (Yahoo account).

Hello fellow users,


After couple security problems that Yahoo faced they did couple changes for the Mail application. From now on you can't use your personal password for your Yahoo account thats why you can't sync with them.

For those who don't know the solution for this problem is:


1. Go to your account info

User uploaded file

2. Click to "Manage your app passwords"

User uploaded file

3. Use a name that you want and "Generate Password"


User uploaded file




The password that Yahoo webpage will generate is the password that you gonna need to login to your Yahoo account from the Mail application.



Here also a link in case you can't find these steps.
