What does Email with an exclamation point inside triangle mean

I have an old yahoo email account that I read on my apple email it's still working but this triangle is sitting beside my email address on the left hand side of Mail. I'm still getting email but I'm concerned that maybe I'm not getting all of my email and I don't know how to clear that triangle. Should I go directly to my yahoo.com mail log in and do something there?

Click on your "exclamation point inside triangle" and see if resolves...


Quit the mail.app and relaunch holding the Option key and compare your results...


No resolve— reboot the Mac and try again



If no insight try the Mail>Window >Connection Doctor


Use Connection Doctor in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
