Yahoo account setup problems Huawei P8 lite 2017

[subehai28]

New Huawei P8 lite 2017 phone unable to set up yahoo mail account. Followed all various options on internet and no success!! I tap email button on phone, then select yahoo, enter my email address and password(which is correct as I checked it on computer). I have even tried manually entering the settings for IMAP (imap.mail.yahoo.com, Port-993, SSL) still no connection. Error message that it can not connect. Have tried POP3 but phone reads 'setup failed The POP3/SMTP service is disabled. Enable the service and try again.' How do I do this and will it help? Any ideas why I can't set it up? Don't really want to download the yahoo app as I haven't needed to on any other phone and some have been really old phones! New technology!!??!
