I'm probably blind and this is obvious, but...

I've added my google and yahoo accounts in the settings.. and added my google email to Mail - now how do I add my yahoo mail to Mail?

There seems to be mention of this in an earlier release, but its gone now?

THanks

Use the "General email" account options in settings -> accounts -> add accounts and those settings for imap and smtp

IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
IMAP port: 993
IMAP TLS/SSL: yes
IMAP user name: Your full Yahoo Mail address
IMAP password: Your Yahoo Mail password or app password
SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP port: 465 (try 587 as an alternative)
SMTP TLS/SSL: yes
SMTP username: Your complete Yahoo Mail address
SMTP password: Your Yahoo Mail password

Yup did that, double checked that the user/pass is correct. I think it has logged in as deleting it and re-creating it triggers a search for calendars after saying signing in.. but nothing apart from that..

In my case, I had to enable some (semi-hidden) special option in the yahoo webmail settings / online account settings. I think it was somethink like "allow third party apps to access the account". Did you do something like that?
