I can't get smtp to work with multiple yahoo accounts. When I get the account settings window, it shows the correct smtp server for yahoo. (smtp.mail.yahoo.com) but when I click on the edit SMTP button, there is a section called "Security and Authentication" section with 3 lines 

     Connection Security:             [SSL/TLS]
     Authentication Method :        [0AUTH2]
     User Name:                             [*****1@cox.net]  (My accounts were transferred from COX to Yahoo)

If I edit the SMTP on any of my cox accounts, it changes them all to the same user name. If I want to send mail from any cox account, I have to go to account settings first and edit the smtp and put in the correct account. This is very tedious.

I have noticed that my gmail accounts do the same thing, but gmail doesn't care. Here is the error I get when sending mail before going to account settings first to change the account.

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

There was no menu button ≡, so I did a print screen. I have attached the screen shot.

Create multiple SMTP servers, one for each account.

I created a different SMTP server name for each account. for example, for 3 accounts, when I used the edit smtp server I used something like in edit smtp server 

    yahoo 1
    server name smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    connection security ssl/tls
    authentication OAuth2
    username ******yahoo1@yahoo.com

yahoo 2
    server name smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    connection security ssl/tls
    authentication OAuth2
    username ******yahoo2@yahoo.com

Somethimes this works, but with many accounts I have used, it changes the server name to one of the previous accounts. Is there a limit on the number of accounts?
