Why is yahoo mail in windows 10 not sync

Frustrating issue! There could be several reasons why Yahoo Mail is not syncing on Windows 10. Let's troubleshoot together:

  1. Account settings: Ensure that your Yahoo Mail account settings are correct in Windows 10. Go to Settings > Accounts > Email & accounts, and check if your Yahoo Mail account is listed. If not, add it by clicking "Add an account" and following the prompts.
  2. Sync frequency: Check the sync frequency setting for your Yahoo Mail account. Go to Settings > Accounts > Email & accounts > Yahoo Mail > Sync frequency. Make sure it's set to "Every 15 minutes" or "Every 30 minutes" to ensure regular syncing.
  3. Account permissions: Ensure that you have granted the necessary permissions for Windows 10 to access your Yahoo Mail account. Go to the Yahoo Mail website, sign in, and check the "Account settings" or "Security settings" section. Look for options related to "Third-party access" or "App permissions" and ensure that Windows 10 is allowed to access your account.
  4. Outlook app: If you're using the Outlook app on Windows 10 to access your Yahoo Mail account, try closing and reopening the app. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve syncing issues.
  5. Yahoo Mail app: If you're using the Yahoo Mail app on Windows 10, try updating it to the latest version. You can do this by going to the Microsoft Store, searching for "Yahoo Mail", and clicking "Update".
  6. Windows 10 updates: Ensure that your Windows 10 operating system is up-to-date. Sometimes, updates can resolve syncing issues. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any available updates.
  7. Yahoo Mail server issues: Yahoo Mail servers might be experiencing issues, causing syncing problems. Try checking the Yahoo Mail status page to see if there are any known issues or outages.
  8. Firewall or antivirus software: Firewalls or antivirus software might be blocking the syncing process. Try temporarily disabling them to see if it resolves the issue.
  9. Account password: If you've recently changed your Yahoo Mail password, try updating it in Windows 10 to ensure that the account is synced correctly.
  10. Reset account: As a last resort, try resetting your Yahoo Mail account password and then re-adding it to Windows 10.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you can try contacting Yahoo Mail support or Microsoft Support for further assistance.
