Other Can’t send email from Yahoo alias in mail app

[yosemiteg]

I have a Yahoo alias account set up in Mail of my iPhone 8+, iOS 14.2. I’ve used it for years. So with Mail I have an original account and a separate alias account. I just changed the password for the original Yahoo email account and now it won’t let me send email from alias account.

It wants me to re-enter the password for the alias account, but when I do it says, “Email Address Mismatch, the email address you entered does not match your account.”

i tried to add a new account for the alias, but it says, “original account is already added”.

I set up something called an app password in Yahoo original account and tried to create an alias account. Wont let me.

I don’t know what to do next and the alias address is my main address for general mail.

Please help? It will be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Were you using an IMAP account for your alias? Same thing just happened to me, although I didn't reset any passwords. Just started saying my password was incorrect and I had to re-enter. Then gave me the "enter valid email address" error. I think it has something to do with Yahoo's security update last October. I never followed the instructions, but never had any issues until now. I went back to find the email from them and followed the instructions, and now everything works on my Macbook Mail, and I can receive emails to the alias on iPhone, but I can't send via the alias which pretty much defeats the purpose.

Also, I tried going into Yahoo Mail settings (via browser) to create the alias directly in there (as I read somewhere), but those settings menus have changed (no more "accounts" under settings - that I could find) and I couldn't do that either.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi debruin13,

I do use IMAP. I finally found a YouTube video that helped me set up the alias account so I could send from alias email. I’m sorry, I can’t find it now, but there are a few on YouTube.
