Here are a few things to think about and try:

1. Verify the password you know is the correct one by going to www.yahoo.com and try logging in.

2. Open Keychain access and search yahoo. Delete any keychain entries associated with that.

3. Delete the mail account from within Internet Accounts in System preferences.

4. Re-add the account either from within Mail or Internet Accounts in System preferences once again.
