Does yahoo mail support smtp

A blast from the past!

Yes, Yahoo Mail does support SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for sending emails. However, there are some limitations and requirements to keep in mind:

  1. Outgoing SMTP server: Yahoo Mail's outgoing SMTP server is smtp.mail.yahoo.com. You can use this server to send emails from your Yahoo Mail account.
  2. Port: The default port for Yahoo Mail's SMTP server is 587 (Submission port). You can also use port 25, but this may be blocked by your ISP or network administrator.
  3. Authentication: You need to authenticate with your Yahoo Mail account credentials (username and password) to use the SMTP server.
  4. Security: Yahoo Mail uses SSL/TLS encryption to secure the connection. You may need to enable SSL/TLS in your email client or application to connect to the SMTP server.
  5. Rate limits: Yahoo Mail has rate limits for sending emails using its SMTP server. You can send up to 100 emails per day from a single IP address.
  6. Spam filtering: Yahoo Mail has robust spam filtering, which may block or flag emails that are suspected of being spam.

To use Yahoo Mail's SMTP server, you'll need to configure your email client or application to use the following settings:

Keep in mind that Yahoo Mail's SMTP server is intended for personal use and may not be suitable for large-scale email sending or commercial use. If you need to send a high volume of emails, you may want to consider using a dedicated email service provider.
