The best part of having a Yahoo account is you can integrate its service with a third-party email client such as Outlook and Mac mail using either POP or IMAP settings. If you have configured your Yahoo account to Outlook, you will need to enter the correct IMAP, SMTP, or POP settings for Yahoo. Also, this can happen at several instances that you may find that Yahoo’s SMTP server is not working. If this is the case, you may not be able to send emails from Yahoo.
SMTP stands for ‘Simple Mail Transfer Protocol’ and is responsible for the outgoing emails that you send from your account. Whenever you set up your Yahoo account on a third-party email service, you will need to enter these settings manually to ensure smooth transmission of emails.
Setting up your Yahoo account on any third-party email service eliminates the need of logging into your account every time you want to access emails. Also, if you want to access your Yahoo account on Android, you will need to enter these settings. Similarly, setting up Yahoo Mail on the iPhone also requires you to enter the IMAP and SMTP some settings.

So here are the correct IMAP and POP settings for Yahoo mail:
Incoming Mail (POP) Server
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
Your login info
Another possibility due to which Yahoo outgoing SMTP server is not working is that the software you have installed is blocking the ports. Antivirus programs such as antivirus, firewall, or network protocols can block the ports, and you may realize that the Yahoo Mail settings are not working. You can temporarily disable the software if possible or contact your internet service provider to know how you can unblock the ports.
If the above steps didn’t work for you, here is something else you can try:
That was all about how you can fix the SMTP server not working with Yahoo.
