Trying to connect to yandex mail with a script

import imaplib, email server = "imap.yandex.ru" port = "993" login = "login" password = "pass" box = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(server, port) box.login(login, password) box.select() typ, data = M.search(None, 'ALL') for num in data[0].split() : typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)') print 'Message %sn%sn' % (num, data[0][1]) box.close() box.logout()

But an error occurs

maplib.error: [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] LOGIN LOGIN Invalid credentials or IMAP is disabled

The situation is similar when using POP3.

Authentication data entered correctly.

What could be the reason?

The problem was that IMAP access was denied on the mail server.
