NEED HELP Yahoo Account Won't Open

[DoggyB22]

The past few days I've been having problems with my Yahoo account opening under the S6 Edge Plus email app. All my other emails open in the phones app but the Yahoo one. Ill type in the correct password & email name & still says it wont open.

Says....
"An incorrect username or password has been entered, or POP3/IMAP access is not turned on for this account. Check your account settings or contact your service provider."

Thanks!

Sounds like a settings issue with Yahoo. I haven't used Yahoo for 10 years or since GMAIL came as it's absolute crap, so I can't really tell you where to check it, but I would start by logging into your Yahoo account on a PC or MAC and checking your settings there.
If all your other email works, then this all points to a Yahoo issue
