Connect yahoo mail to fetch

To connect Yahoo Mail to Fetch, you'll need to set up an IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) account. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a Yahoo Mail account.
2. You have Fetch installed on your device (e.g., Mac, Windows, or Linux).

Step 1: Enable IMAP in Yahoo Mail

1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
2. Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner.
3. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
4. Scroll down to the "More Settings" section.
5. Click on "Account Settings."
6. Scroll down to the "IMAP" section.
7. Toggle the switch next to "IMAP" to the "On" position.
8. Click "Save" to save your changes.

Step 2: Set up IMAP account in Fetch

1. Open Fetch on your device.
2. Click on "File" > "New Account" (or press Cmd + N on a Mac or Ctrl + N on Windows).
3. Select "IMAP" as the account type.
4. Enter the following information:
   • Account Name: Enter a name for your Yahoo Mail account (e.g., "Yahoo Mail").
   • Username: Enter your Yahoo Mail address (e.g., [your_email_address]@yahoo.com).
   • Password: Enter your Yahoo Mail password.
   • Host: Enter imap.yahoo.com (or imap.mail.yahoo.com for some users).
   • Port: Enter 993 (or 995 for some users).
5. Click "OK" to save the account settings.

Step 3: Verify your account settings

1. Fetch will attempt to connect to your Yahoo Mail account. If everything is set up correctly, you should see a list of your email folders (e.g., Inbox, Sent, Drafts).
2. Verify that your account is working by sending an email to yourself or checking for new emails.

Tips and Troubleshooting:

• Make sure you've enabled IMAP in your Yahoo Mail account settings.
• If you're having trouble connecting, try checking the Yahoo Mail server settings or contacting Yahoo Mail support.
• Fetch may require additional configuration for SSL/TLS encryption. Check your Fetch settings to ensure that SSL/TLS is enabled.
• If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to configure it separately to connect to your Yahoo Mail account.

By following these steps, you should be able to connect your Yahoo Mail account to Fetch using IMAP.
