Yahoo mail pop setting

To set up Yahoo Mail to use POP (Post Office Protocol) to retrieve your emails, you'll need to configure your email client or device to use the following settings:

Yahoo Mail POP Settings:

• Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
• Port: 995 (SSL/TLS)
• Username: Your full Yahoo Mail address (e.g., [yourname]@yahoo.com)
• Password: Your Yahoo Mail password
• Authentication: Use the same username and password for both incoming and outgoing mail servers
• SSL/TLS: Enabled (recommended)

Note: Yahoo Mail recommends using IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) instead of POP, as it allows for two-way synchronization and keeps your emails up-to-date across all devices. However, if you still want to use POP, you can follow the above settings.

POP vs. IMAP:

• POP (Post Office Protocol) is a protocol that allows you to retrieve emails from a remote server and store them locally on your device. When you use POP, your emails are deleted from the server after retrieval.
• IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a protocol that allows you to access and manage your emails on a remote server, without downloading them to your device. IMAP keeps your emails up-to-date across all devices and allows for two-way synchronization.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Make sure you're using the correct server and port settings.
• Check your Yahoo Mail account settings to ensure that POP is enabled.
• If you're using a third-party email client, ensure that it's configured to use the correct authentication method (e.g., username and password).
• If you're experiencing issues with POP, try switching to IMAP or contacting Yahoo Mail support for assistance.
