Suddenly can't get new Yahoo! mail on my mac.

I could log in on some of my Apple devices but not a new Macbook Pro. Frustrating😠 I talked to Apple support and I had a setting in Yahoo that was keeping me from logging in on my new device. I disabled "two step verification." Here's the Yahoo link: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6050.html Works great now.

Here we go again...UGH...someone needs to fix this issue. This has been ongoing for months now. I do not like going to the yahoo server to retrieve my mail. I paid for a Mac and want to use iMail to access emails...very frustrating!

I started using Mac Mail finally last month, and set it up with my Yahoo and Gmail accounts.

Everything worked well till a week ago when Yahoo mails stopped arriving. I am on Yosemite,

have app-specific passwords and everything. This issue isnt going away.

I had the same problem for 3 days. I searched for a bit and finally decided to give up trying to fix it, as the issue was that I could not enter the password to log into it again, not through the preferences or via Accounts. Funny because other accounts allow you to enter the password in there but not Yahoo. I removed the account and re-created it today. I am wondering if the next time the cookie expires (in about 2 weeks) I am going to have the same issue. (sigh) Anyone had any luck getting to the bottom of this?

TIA,

Maizo

I've not been able to log into Yahoo Mail since the El Capitan update last year. I've just managed to get mine working by deleting the account, then adding a new account but instead of adding it from the Yahoo icon, I scrolled down to the bottom of the list and selected 'Add Another Account'. From there I entered the email and password and the account dropped straight in.

Okay so it isn't just me. Seems like this is an issue for many. Please let me know if there is a post with a solution.

Deleting Yahoo then selecting Add another @Mail account works for me, having not had Yahoo mail for a week or so.

Our ymail still isnt' working. The Yahoo.com works, but not ymail. We have the 13" MacBook Air. Help!

Disable two step verification in the the Y mail settings. worked for me

For me I have 2 yahoo accounts, for dodgy websites and such.

Both of them have problems, I need to re-enter my password every time and it still doesn't retrieve mail, although I allowed unsafe inboxes on the yahoo settings tab.

The server for account "<account>" returned the error "[UNAVAILABLE] (#AUTH201) Service is not available; please try again later.." Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?

although I reassured the pass and username where correct.

is this a problem on apple's side or on yahoo's idk

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.

Try going to Yahoo's e-mail website and see if there is an option to sign on using less secure.

Solved:

Delete errored email account

Sign out of iCloud

Add new email account

Sign in to iCloud

This worked for me as well. Thanks Eric!

FWIW, I simply logged in again a few minutes ago, and this time it took. Must have been on the Yahoo side...
