My Mail program will not let me add a Yahoo! account. I have added my gmail account but I keep getting an error when trying to add Yahoo!. Is there some reason that I cannot add Yahoo! or something I need to do to add it? I just got my MacBook Pro today and it is my first Mac. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

It's a lame practice, but this is true. You'll have to upgrade (and pay the subscription fee) or move to a different client. I'm pretty sure you can't even set up mail forwarding without paying.
Woah! Great news- it can be done
Gave up trying to do this a while ago, but recently there was a very helpful response on this thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1050334/ which works and means you don't have to upgrade (bad, bad, yahoo!). Anyway when setting up mac mail the crux of the matter is to remove the "plus" from the "Incoming Mail Server" chain.
Bit of tinkering but it can be done and very worthwhile persisting. Good luck, and well done that man!

No, I can't seem to do it. I just keep getting the same messages, and nothing showing "plus" that I could remove as suggested.
Okay here are some screenshots. You aren't seeing this?
