Yahoo Mail POP3 or IMAP and STMP server settings

To receive or send emails from Yahoo Mail using any software or email client on desktop or mobile phone we need to add Yahoo Mail Server setting. These server setting will allow email client to interact with Yahoo mail server to perform actions.

For receiving emails from Yahoo mail, we can either use IMAP or POP3 server setting. I would recommended to use IMAP settings instead of POP3 as it is more secure and leave a copy of email in Yahoo Mail.

IMAP settings for Yahoo Mail server:

1. Account Type: IMAP
2. Incoming Mail Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
3. Port Number: 993
4. Connection Type: SSL

POP3 server setting for Yahoo Mail:

1. Account Type: POP
2. Incoming Mail Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
3. Port Number: 995
4. Connection Type: SSL

Yahoo Mail SMTP server setting:

1. Account Type: SMTP
2. Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
3. Port Number: 587 or 465
4. Connection Type: TLS
5. Require Authentication: Yes
