How to send html e mail from yahoo

To send an HTML email from Yahoo, you'll need to use Yahoo's SMTP server and follow some specific formatting guidelines. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Prerequisites:

You need to have a Yahoo email account.
You need to enable less secure apps on your Yahoo account (this is required for sending emails using Yahoo's SMTP server).

Step 1: Enable Less Secure Apps

To enable less secure apps on your Yahoo account, follow these steps:

Sign in to your Yahoo account.
Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "Settings".
Scroll down to the "Account" section and click on "Account info".
Click on "Account security" and toggle the switch next to "Less secure apps" to the "On" position.

Step 2: Set up Your Email Client

You'll need to set up your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird) to use Yahoo's SMTP server. Here are the settings you'll need:

SMTP Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Username: Your Yahoo email address
Password: Your Yahoo email password
Authentication: TLS or SSL

Step 3: Compose Your HTML Email

Create a new email in your email client and compose your HTML email using the following guidelines:

Use a plain text editor (e.g., Notepad, TextEdit) to create your HTML file.
Save the file with a .html extension (e.g., email.html).
Use a <html> and <body> tag to wrap your HTML content.
Use a <table> or <div> tag to format your email content.
Use inline CSS styles to format your email content (Yahoo doesn't support external stylesheets).

Here's an example of a simple HTML email:

<html>
  <body>
    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
      <tr>
        <td align="center">
          <h1>Welcome to our email!</h1>
          <p>This is a test email sent from Yahoo.</p>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

Step 4: Attach Your HTML File to Your Email

In your email client, attach your HTML file to the email. Make sure to select the correct file type (.html) and attach it to the email body.

Step 5: Send Your Email

Send your email using your email client. Yahoo's SMTP server will send the email to the recipient's email address.

Tips and Troubleshooting:

Make sure to use a plain text editor to create your HTML file, as Yahoo's SMTP server may not support HTML files created with WYSIWYG editors.
Use a simple HTML structure and avoid using complex CSS or JavaScript code.
If you encounter issues sending your email, try checking your email client's settings or contacting Yahoo's support team for assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to send an HTML email from Yahoo using your email client.
