Can't creat yahoo mail account in outlook
Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some common solutions to help you create a Yahoo Mail account in Outlook:
1. Check your Yahoo Mail settings: Ensure that your Yahoo Mail account is set up correctly. Go to your Yahoo Mail account settings and make sure that:
- IMAP is enabled (Settings > More Settings > Accounts > Yahoo Mail > IMAP)
- Your account is set to allow less secure apps (Settings > Account Info > Account Security > Less Secure Apps)
2. Update your Outlook settings: In Outlook, go to File > Account Settings > Manage Profiles > Show Profiles. Select your profile and click "Edit". Then, click on "More Settings" and navigate to the "Advanced" tab. Ensure that:
- The "Use the following IMAP settings" option is selected
- The "Incoming mail server" and "Outgoing mail server" fields are set to
imap.mail.yahoo.comandsmtp.mail.yahoo.com, respectively - The "Port" fields are set to 993 (IMAP) and 587 (SMTP), respectively
3. Check your account credentials: Make sure you're using the correct Yahoo Mail login credentials. If you're using a password manager, ensure that you're using the correct password.
4. Disable two-factor authentication (2FA): If you have 2FA enabled on your Yahoo Mail account, it might be causing the issue. Try disabling 2FA temporarily to see if it resolves the problem.
5. Check for Outlook updates: Ensure that your Outlook is up-to-date. Sometimes, updates can resolve connectivity issues.
6. Try a different Yahoo Mail account: If you have multiple Yahoo Mail accounts, try creating a new account in Outlook to see if the issue is specific to one account.
7. Reset your Outlook profile: If none of the above steps work, try resetting your Outlook profile. This will remove all account settings and start fresh.
If you've tried all these steps and still can't create a Yahoo Mail account in Outlook, you may want to contact Yahoo Mail support or Microsoft Outlook support for further assistance.
