What is the incoming mail server for yahoo mail

The incoming mail server for Yahoo Mail is imap.yahoo.com. However, please note that Yahoo Mail uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, which means you'll need to use a different approach to set up your email client to connect to Yahoo Mail.

Here are the steps to set up your email client to connect to Yahoo Mail:

  1. Go to your email client's settings and select "Account" or "Mail" settings.
  2. Click on "Add account" or "New account" and select "Other" or "Manual setup".
  3. Enter the following information:
    • Account type: IMAP
    • Incoming mail server: imap.yahoo.com
    • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.yahoo.com
    • Username: Your Yahoo Mail address (e.g., [yourname]@yahoo.com)
    • Password: Your Yahoo Mail password
  4. Enable OAuth 2.0 authentication by checking the box next to "Use OAuth 2.0" or "Use advanced settings" and selecting "OAuth 2.0" as the authentication method.
  5. Enter the following OAuth 2.0 credentials:
    • Client ID: You can find this in your Yahoo Mail account settings under "Account" > "Account info" > "Apps and services" > "Manage apps".
    • Client secret: You can find this in your Yahoo Mail account settings under "Account" > "Account info" > "Apps and services" > "Manage apps".
    • Redirect URI: This should be the same as the URL you entered in step 3.
  6. Click "Save" or "Next" to complete the setup process.

Note that you may need to enable OAuth 2.0 in your Yahoo Mail account settings before you can set up your email client to connect to Yahoo Mail. To do this, go to your Yahoo Mail account settings, click on "Account" > "Account info" > "Apps and services" > "Manage apps", and toggle the switch next to "OAuth 2.0" to the "On" position.
