How to add Yandex mail to the Mail program on Mac OS?

Question

Yandex

I go to the mail, click add a new account, enter the name, email, password, click enter, think, think and give an error
"cannot verify account name or password" Although the entered data is correct.
The account type is imap, the incoming mail server is automatically set to
imap.yandex.com the
outgoing mail server is
smtp.yandex.com
On Yandex help it is written that the servers should not be .com, but .ru I change as it is written and the same annoying error appears, only with Yandex mail, even with mail mail everything is OK, google too, but Yandex does not want to in any way. Has anyone dealt with such a problem?

Answer 1

you need to write out a password for the mail app.
Yandex.passport->account management->password management->application passwords "on"->"get application password". It should be used as a password.

Answer 2

0. log in to your account through a browser
1. turn on "application passwords", as Mr_Dr_Pr advised earlier (rewrite the password on a piece of paper, eat it after success)
2. in "Mail → All settings → Mail programs" check the boxes "from the imap server" and " application passwords"
3. on macOS, launch the Mail program and open settings / accounts
4. click on the screen + / other account. / enter the name, address, password from point 1
5. an error will appear "cannot verify the account name" and a window with additional settings
6. enter the username (your email login), imap record type, incoming server imap.yandex. ru, outgoing server smtp.yandex.ru
7. after a long check of the entered data, if an error occurs, fill in the empty input fields, save (despite the error, the account is created and now you can go to its settings)
8. in the "server settings" section: username = your login, password from point 1, incoming mail host imap.yandex.ru, uncheck "settings automatically", port 993, check "use SSL", authentication "password", imap additional settings (prefix empty, TLS certificate "no", uncheck "allow insecure authentication")
9. further here are the outgoing mail settings: username = your email login, password from step 1, host name smtp.yandex.ru, uncheck "configure automatically", port 465, check "use SSL", authentication "password"
10. click the "save" button
