- If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to configure it to use the Yahoo Mail IMAP settings. Consult your client's documentation for specific instructions.
- Yahoo Mail has a limit on the number of connections allowed per account. If you're experiencing issues with your IMAP connection, you may need to contact Yahoo Mail support to request an increase in your connection limit.
