Our IMAP options have disapperared from our Apple devices

Today (2-28-24) our email stopped receiving new messages. When we checked the account settings on all of our devices we see an outgoing mail server SMTP of YAHOO! SMTP server, but there is no IMAP entry for inbound email  How do we get this set back up so we can receive emails on our Apple devices?
