I also work on the fact that if there were issues then it would be reported on here by others and I can't recall seeing any other posts about this recently so whatever is behind this could be an issue on your account. Just to check what imap server are you using ?

Hi.

I'm also having this issue. My Mac stoped receiving Yahoo mail from 29 June 2022. Keeps asking for password, when I enter correct Yahoo mail password Mac can't connect

@CandyB

Try generating a 16 digit password here and use this to replace your usual password:

It's worked! Thanks v much.

So is this 16 digit my new Yahoo mail password now i.e. if i log in to yahoo mail drectly, should i now use the 16 digits instead of my original p/w?

To login to your email account online you use your usual email password and not this 16 digit one.

@Adrian+Ferrante I'm not sure why your thread appears to have been hijacked, but I don't recall seeing it earlier.

You should be able to setup your Sky email address by reinstalling the account into your email app. Make sure it is recognised as a Yahoo account.

Alternately you could use a generated password to replace your current password in the app, as suggested by @caesarome.
