Apple default Mail app is considered a Third Party App by Yahoo mail. You will need to generate a Third Party App Password for each of your Cox email accounts to be able to use the Apple default Mail app with your Yahoo-transitioned Cox email accounts.
Log into Yahoo mail using your PC or Mac. You will need your full cox email address (e.g., TastyMango@cox.net) and the new email password you created when you completed your Cox to Yahoo transistion. Yahoo may ask you to go through some steps to verify your Recovery Options - complete it now or later. Once in the Yahoo mail click the icon at the top right (your name or initials) and select \"Overview\". Now from the menu at the top select \"Security\".
Look on the right for \"Other ways to sign in\" and you will see \"App Password - If you don’t normally use a password to sign in to your Yahoo account, here’s where you can generate a password for 3rd-party apps that require passwords.\" Click on \"Generate an app password\" and provide a name for the app (e.g., Mac Mail or Iphone Mail). Yahoo will provide a new password for the Apple Mail app - make a copy of it (don't include the spaces). DON'T LOSE THIS OR YOU WILL HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.
On the iPhone go to Settings>Mail>Accounts and select the account you are working on. Go to Account Settings now. Verify the settings are correct first

Hello !!
can you describe how you finally made the “yahoo’ed cox accounts” in Outlook app for iOS, ipadOS and or MacOS, ??
I refuse to switch to the native mail app or even worse, have to use Yahoo email with the annoying ads.
plus I pay for a subscription for Microsoft 365, so naturally I want to use Outlook 365.
any advice ??
my outlook doesn’t have a security chance for “SSL/TSL”. Just SSL.
