Can't get my email via IMAP
It's stopped working since the Yahoo! Migration. Keeps rejecting the password, although it works fine via the webmail.
Settings are as per the article here.

Re: Can't get my bloody email via IMAP
Are you using the correct ports for connection to the server?
For incoming mail imap.tools.sky.com port 993 with SSL.
For outgoing mail smtp.tools.sky.com port 465 with SSL.
Same as the Android settings here
These are the same settings as before the change to Yahoo.
They work for me with Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.

Re: Can't get my bloody email via IMAP
Yep. I'm using the same settings as I always have with Apple Mail. Worked faultlessly with the gmail system. Double checked them against the article I linked in the OP and they're all correct.
Just permanently rejecting the password ... which works fine via the webmail.

Re: Can't get my email via IMAP
Hi, Same here i use mac mail & all great till change over now keeps asking for password! I couldn't access sky email via web browser for a couple of day's but can today.
Weird thing is my 'additional users' are all getting the test emails i have been sending from iCloud but not my main address? I spoke to sky a couple of day's ago about wether
yahoo mail supports imap on my mac or not as some info say yes some say no!! person on the phone said yeah no problem! (i don't think it does going by what i have read)
Would be nice to know one way or the other thou, Going to give it a couple more days to settle down but not good!
