Yahoo, not authenticating

Accidentally deleted my yahoo account on my MacBook Pro try to connect back up to it every time I get a message at the end saying yahoo cannot authenticate. Try again later

My emails were perfectly okay on my iPhone

Re: Yahoo, not authenticating

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more

Try using these settings if you are using an app to access your emails:

 

Select either "Other" or "Not Yahoo" then use these settings:


Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server

Server - imap.tools.sky.com
Port - 993
Requires SSL - Yes


Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server

Server - smtp.tools.sky.com
Port - 465
Requires SSL - Yes
Requires authentication - Yes


You will then need to generate a 16 digit password and use that instead of your usual one, you can do that here:
