How to connect to yahoo mail using smtp

To connect to Yahoo Mail using SMTP, you'll need to use the following settings:

SMTP Server:

• smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 587)

Authentication:

• Username: Your Yahoo Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Yahoo Mail password

Encryption:

• TLS (Transport Layer Security) or STARTTLS (optional)

Here's a breakdown of the settings:

1. SMTP Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com is the primary SMTP server for Yahoo Mail. You can use port 587, which is the default port for submission.
2. Authentication: You'll need to provide your Yahoo Mail address and password to authenticate with the SMTP server.
3. Encryption: Yahoo Mail uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption to secure the connection. You can also use STARTTLS, which is a protocol that allows the client to negotiate the encryption level with the server.

Example SMTP settings:

• SMTP Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 587)
• Username: [email protected]
• Password: your_yahoo_password
• Encryption: TLS or STARTTLS

Important notes:

• Yahoo Mail has specific requirements for sending emails using SMTP. Make sure to check their SMTP settings page for any updates or changes.
• Some email clients or applications may not support Yahoo Mail's SMTP settings. In that case, you may need to use a third-party SMTP service or a different email provider.
• Be aware that Yahoo Mail has a limit on the number of emails you can send per day using their SMTP server. If you exceed this limit, your account may be temporarily blocked.
