I have solved this problem. When setting the imcoming and outgoing mail servers, there is a section on checking password type. With bellsouth.net emails, you don't do that. For IMAP, the settings are: receiving: imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 993, TLS on a dedicated port, and authentication type is password sending: smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port 465, TLS on a dedicatet port, server requires authentication, and password type is plain
