Have they changed the setting for yahoo mail in outlook
You're referring to the integration between Yahoo Mail and Outlook!
Yes, Microsoft has made some changes to the way Yahoo Mail is integrated with Outlook. Here's what's changed:
Old setting: Previously, when you added your Yahoo Mail account to Outlook, it would sync your Yahoo Mail inbox, sent items, and drafts. However, this integration was limited, and you couldn't access your Yahoo Mail calendar, contacts, or other features directly from Outlook.
New setting: As of 2020, Microsoft has updated the integration to use the Yahoo Mail API (Application Programming Interface) instead of the old IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) method. This change allows for a more seamless and comprehensive integration between Yahoo Mail and Outlook.
What's changed:
- Full-fledged integration: With the new API-based integration, you can now access your Yahoo Mail calendar, contacts, and other features directly from Outlook.
- Two-way sync: Your Yahoo Mail account will now sync with Outlook in both directions, meaning that changes you make in Outlook will be reflected in Yahoo Mail, and vice versa.
- Improved performance: The new integration is designed to be more efficient and reliable, reducing the likelihood of errors and sync issues.
How to set up the new integration:
To take advantage of the new integration, follow these steps:
- Open Outlook and go to the "File" menu.
- Click on "Add Account" and select "Other Email Accounts."
- Choose "Yahoo" as the email provider and enter your Yahoo Mail login credentials.
- Follow the prompts to set up the account, and Outlook will automatically configure the integration.
By following these steps, you'll be able to enjoy a more comprehensive and seamless integration between Yahoo Mail and Outlook.
