apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com error message

I was going crazy when I could not email from my ipad. I could receive email. I was getting a failed message. I could not find a solution any place on the net.

This how I resolved it. Yahoo now requires an “app password”. so go to yahoo security for your account and follow the instructions for creating an app password for your ipad, iphone, etc.

I did these and how it works!
