Setting up a Yahoo Small Business email account is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

    • Port: 993 (for incoming mail) and 587 (for outgoing mail)
    • Encryption: SSL/TLS
  3. Click "Connect" or "Save" to complete the setup process.

Additional Tips:

  1. Make sure to set up your email account with a strong password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security.
  2. You can also set up email forwarding to forward emails from your Yahoo Small Business account to another email address.
