- Launch your Outlook (I'm using 2013 for this example, but previous versions should work as well).
- Select the "FILE" tab on top left corner and select "Account and Social Network Settings" under Account Information.
- Click on Account Settings, and in the dropdown, select "Account Settings".
- In the dialog window, under the E-mail tab, select New.
- Under Choose Service, Select "Email Account". Then click Next.
- Select "POP or IMAP", and hit Next.
- Under the POP and IMAP Account Settings, fill in your name and email address.
- For Server Information, fill in the following:
- Account Type: IMAP
- Incoming mail server: imap-ssl.mail.yahoo.com
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com
- Logon Information:
- User name: <youryahoologin>@yahoo.com
- Password: your yahoo password
- Check Remember Password
- Leave "Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)" unchecked.
- Hit More Settings:
- Under the "Outgoing Server" tab:
- Check "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication
- Select "Log on using"
- User Name: <youryahologin>@yahoo.com
- Password: your yahoo password
- Check Remember Password
- Under Advanced:
- Under Server Port Numbers:
- Incoming server (IMAP): 143
- Leave "Use the following type of encrypted connection:" as "None" (this can help to prevent certificate issues, which can be extremely annoying).
- Outgoing server (SMTP): 465
- Select "Use the following type of encrypted connect:" as "SSL".
- Leave the rest as is.
- Hit OK to close the dialog and return back to the settings windows.
- Hit Next and you should be done!
Hopefully, the settings would work for you. Let me know how it goes in the comments!
