Connect Yahoo Mail
Yahoo Mail over IMAP and SMTP with an app password. Yahoo requires one for apps that do not use its own sign-in page. Works
| Signs in with | App password |
|---|---|
| Username | Your full email address |
| Incoming (IMAP) | imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 993 (SSL/TLS) |
| Outgoing (SMTP) | smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port 465 (SSL/TLS) or 587 (STARTTLS) |
Generate an app password in your Yahoo account security settings and use it instead of your Yahoo password.
