Yahoo has added more security and so does not work with a simple IMAP login by default.

I think to use MacOS Mail you need to follow step 3

While changing or upgrading your third party applications, you can temporarily give them access.

  1. Sign in to Yahoo Mail.
  2. Go to your "Account security" settings.
