How to Configure Yahoo Mail into Outlook

Question

Hi everyone,

I’m using multiple email provider (Gmail, Yahoo, and some other domain. com) to access emails, all using MS Outlook. However, I’ve already configured Gmail and other domain. com account into MS Outlook (except for Yahoo) but now I want to know the steps to configure Yahoo mail into MS Outlook.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Regards,

Henry

Hi Henry, nnAs you've already configured Gmail with Outlook, similarly you need to follow the steps to configure Yahoo mail too. Only the difference is that while configuring Yahoo into MS Outlook, you need to use the server settings of Yahoo for both incoming/outgoing mail server. nnAfter following those steps, if you face any inconsistency then feel free to contact for any further assistance. nnThanks & RegardsnEddie Thwan

Hi, nnI followed the same steps as I did during the Gmail configuration but this time I'm getting the error due to which I'm unable to connect to the server. I'm trying to connect my Yahoo account with POP3 configuration. nnMany thanks in advance. nnRegards, nHenryn

Hi Henry, nnThis often happens due to the use of wrong server settings. So if you’re using the incorrect server information, you may face this problem, to correct them you need to use the following Yahoo server settings: nnFor account type:  POP3 nIncoming mail server:  pop. mail. yahoo. com nOutgoing mail server:  SMTP. mail. yahoo. com nEncryption type for incoming server: You need to use  SSL

To Michael, nnThanks for the reply and for posting such a nice article! I was doing the mistakes while filling in the details (especially the port number and encryption type) under the server information, I think the SSL port for POP3 has changed from 110 to 995. nnHope the above article will help others having the same problem as me. nnThank again! nHenry n
