7/25/2023 0 Comments Osx high sierra![]() Would appreciate any input, and hope that the warning on this issue keeps others for losing Yahoo mail on their Mac Mail.Īttachments: Error on High Sierra and Mojave (dark mode:) If they are phasing out, why not giving a warning where the password generator is? Their password generator exists they say, to allow older third party apps to access mail. I believe that if Yahoo is implementing this phase-out, that they should be courteous enough to warn the general public about it. Yahoo's password generator gives a password when specifically requested for 'Mac Mail.' However, it is not recognized during the login process for the e-mail under Internet Accounts in System Preferences.Ģ) If yes, has anyone been able to find a workaround to solve these issues?ģ) Any knows where a to find high level technical support contact information for Yahoo? If you Google "There was an error in Internet Accounts preferences" you will get lots of returns with many suggestion on reseting plist files, moving folders around and all other sort of remedies. I stressed that my question was not about the app but about Yahoo policy on regards to phasing out older operating systems, to which he had no information or anything to say. I called Yahoo support on the telephone and all they could say is that they don't deal with third party mail apps. However, Google gmail WILL let you create an account. I've done clean installs with Mojave on my Mac Pro 5,1 and the problem is still present, I've even re-flashed the Boot ROM Version 141.0.0.0.0 which is the latest for this machine, and the problem still lingers. It was a very interesting find when this issue was **NOT** present on my 2020 MBP using Ventura, and no issues on my iPad or iPhone on iOS 16.5.Īs a matter of fact, Yahoo will not let you create a new e-mail account while in High Sierra or Mojave. All these OSX are in their latest update. This behavior was present on my 2011 MBP with High Sierra, also on my 2012 (early) Mac Pro 5,1 while in different bootable drives (all of them) High Sierra and Mojave. ![]() However, (and a big WARNING) you may not be able to log in again to your Yahoo e-mail accounts if you change your password while using Mojave or High Sierra. My Mac Mail app runs well and I have no issues with the Yahoo e-mail accounts that have been present for a long time. I've spent a few days now trying to figure out why I'm getting the "Preferences Error There was an error in Internet Accounts preferences." while trying to set up my e-mail account (System Preferences/Internet Accounts) in Mojave and High Sierra. I also have an iPad Pro iOS 16.5, iPhone iOS 16.5. I have an early 2012 Mac Pro 5,1 on Mojave and other bootable drives with Mojave and High Sierra, 2011 MBP on HIgh Sierra, 2020 MBP on Ventura.
