My Mail account says: "Connections to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on the default ports timed out." What does this mean, and what do I do about it?

I have not been able to receive or send emails on "Mail" since July 2019. Whenever I open it up, it tries to connect, then gives the message: "Connections to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on the default ports timed out."

Hello,


You will need to reach out to Yahoo’s support for assistance with their product.
