Unable to re-add yahoo email to apple email

My iPhone 16 pro max stopped downloading yahoo email into the apple email app sporadically a year ago and stopped completely downloading 8 days ago. Following online instructions I deleted the account under settings and mail accounts. When I try to add the yahoo email and am asked for a verification code sent through text, I never get a code to proceed. Please advise.

Seems like you may need to log-in to your Yahoo email account online, and ensure (in the Settings there) that you authorise / permit Apple Mail to access your Yahoo account.
