Yahoo Mail is a consumer email service with support for browser and mobile access, IMAP, POP3 and SMTP. When connecting a supported mail application, choose Yahoo or “Sign in with Yahoo” whenever that option is available.
Older applications and devices that support only manual username-and-password authentication may require a generated app password. An app password may also be required when Yahoo Account Key or two-step verification is enabled. Create app passwords from Yahoo Account Security rather than entering your normal password repeatedly.

Yahoo Mail questions
Why will my mail app not accept my Yahoo password?
First use the built-in Yahoo account option or “Sign in with Yahoo” if the application offers it. If the application supports only manual username-and-password authentication, or if Yahoo Account Key or two-step verification is enabled, create an app password in Yahoo Account Security and use it for that application.
What port does Yahoo SMTP use?
Yahoo Mail supports SMTP port 465 with SSL/TLS and port 587 with STARTTLS. Authentication is required, and the username is your complete Yahoo email address.
What is the Yahoo Mail IMAP server?
Yahoo Mail’s incoming IMAP server is imap.mail.yahoo.com. Use port 993 with SSL/TLS and your complete Yahoo email address as the username.
Does Yahoo Mail support POP3?
Yes. Yahoo Mail’s POP3 server is pop.mail.yahoo.com on port 995 with SSL/TLS. IMAP is usually preferable because it synchronises messages, folders and read status across multiple devices.
