I’m trying to set up my Yahoo Mail account in Outlook 2024 to manage all my emails in one place, but I’m not sure about the exact process. I’ve heard it involves enabling IMAP or POP settings in Yahoo, but I’m not clear on the steps. Are there specific settings I need to adjust in Yahoo Mail or Outlook?

Could someone provide a step-by-step guide for this setup? Any tips for avoiding common issues would be great too!

Adding your Yahoo Mail account to Outlook 2024 is very easy. You can setup your account on outlook 2024 by using this guide:
1. Prepare Your Yahoo Account
To connect your Yahoo account to Outlook, you need to enable access for third-party apps:

• Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
• Go to Account Settings by clicking on your profile icon.
• Navigate to Account Security and enable the option for Allow apps that use less secure sign-in.
• Alternatively, generate an app password:
• Under Account Security, click Generate app password.
• Select “Outlook Desktop” from the list, generate a password, and note it down.

2. Open Outlook 2024

1. Open Outlook and go to File > Add Account.
2. Enter your Yahoo email address and click Connect.

3. Configure Yahoo Account Settings

• If prompted, enter the app password generated earlier instead of your regular Yahoo password. Outlook will automatically configure the IMAP settings, but if you need to input them manually:

Incoming Server (IMAP): imap.mail.yahoo.com, Port 993, SSL.
Outgoing Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com, Port 465 or 587, SSL.
