And once you're in, it's quite easy to set up and use. You should be able to find a version that will not display that error message. Under 'Assets' click on the file named "Mailspring.zip" to download that version. Just click on a previous version to open that page. Below is the link to their downloads page. The current version is 1.10.5 but you can find and try previous versions that may work for you as I have seen others reporting the same in the Mailspring community. But if that doesn't work, you might try downloading a previous version of Mailspring. I'd suggest deleting and reinstalling the Mailspring application. You do have to use an "App Password" as outlined a few posts above but it was actually easier to get it going on Mailspring than the method I found for Apple Mail. I just launched mine and had no issues at all adding my Yahoo accounts. I don't know why you're seeing that error with Mailspring. You can now receive your Yahoo mail again! Within 30 seconds the window will close and the account will be successfully added to your Accounts list. (Don’t worry if the ‘User Name’ has been changed to “Automatic” and greyed out.) Now click ’Sign In’ button again. Change or confirm the ‘Outgoing Mail Server’ is set to. But wait until you get the expanded window and error message in red that says “Unable to verify account name or password.” Now change the ‘Account Type’ to POP. It may take a while for anything else to happen. ![]() Enter your Yahoo Mail ‘Name’ and ‘Email Address’ but use the newly generated “App Password” you copied earlier. Click the plus button at the bottom of the list which will open a new window that says “Choose a Mail account provider…” Do NOT click on ‘YAHOO!’ Instead, click on ‘Other Mail Account…’ An ‘Add a Mail account’ window appears. Close window.īack in Mail, click on ‘Mail’ in the menubar choose ‘Preferences…’ this time. Click on said account and then the minus button at the bottom of the list to delete it. Click on ‘Mail’ in menubar and choose ‘Accounts…’ This will open ‘Internet Accounts’ (in System Preferences) where you’ll need to DELETE your old Yahoo IMAP account from the list presented. Leave that pop up window showing the generated password open until you are done below, just in case you need to refer back to it. Click the ‘Copy’ button to copy the password. Then click the ‘Generate password’ button. Do so and then click on ‘Account Security.’ Scroll down to ‘Account Access’ and further below that you will see a section titled “This is how you sign in now.” Scroll further down to “Other ways to sign in.” Click on “Generate and manage app passwords.” A small window will pop up titled “Generate an app password.” It asks you to “Enter your app’s name.” Type “Mail” without the quotes. ![]() Click on ‘your username’ and then ‘Account Info.’ You may be asked to login again. For that reason, I don't recommend this approach but if you want to give it a try, here is how:įirst you’ll need to log in to your Yahoo Mail account via a web browser and generate an “App Password” for use with Mail. ![]() But do understand this can become very confusing if you continue accessing this account via IMAP on other devices. Changing your Yahoo account access in Apple Mail from IMAP to POP restores the ability to receive mail again. It is full-featured, updated regularly and works great with Yahoo, iCloud, and any IMAP mail. Glad to see some options like Thunderbird exist but you must use the older version that is compatible with MacOS 10.11.6.
