Outlook 2016 and Yahoo mail IMAP

About sic weeks ago, outlook 2016 stopped accessing my IMAP Yahoo mail stating it could not connect with the server. I checked all settings and passwords - all look good but I got nowhere. 

I deleted my account on outlook and tried to reconnect it but now I cannot add the account back as it will not log onto to the incoming server. 

Any ideas/help?

Thanks Stephen. I had already tried that solution from Yahoo. Unfortunately it didn't work. Just cannot get Outlook to access the IMAP server.

First, make sure your Yahoo IMAP settings are correct:

You will also need to adjust your Yahoo account to "Allow apps that use less secure sign in" to get Outlook to connect:
