• If you're having trouble connecting to your Yahoo Mail account, try checking your internet connection and ensuring that your firewall settings allow Outlook to connect to the internet.
• If you're using IMAP, you may need to configure your Yahoo Mail account to allow IMAP access. To do this, log in to your Yahoo Mail account, go to the "Settings" menu, and select "More Settings" > "Accounts" > "IMAP Access". Enable IMAP access and save your changes.
