First, a few words about Yahoo.ca:

Yahoo! Mail is an email service launched on October 8, 1997, by the American company Yahoo, Inc. It offers four different email plans: three for personal use (Basic, Plus, and Ad Free) and another for businesses. As of January 2020, Yahoo! Mail has 225 million users. Users are able to access and manage their mailboxes using webmail interface, accessible using a standard web browser. Some accounts also supported the use of standard mail protocols (POP3 and SMTP). Since 2015, users can also connect non-Yahoo e-mail accounts to the webmail client. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Mail

Setting up Yahoo.ca:

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Gmail app.
  2. In the top right, tap your profile picture.
  3. Tap Add another account.
  4. Choose the type of account you want to add:
    • If you check work or school emails through Outlook for Windows, select Outlook, Hotmail, and Live.
    • If you don't see your email service, select Other.
  5. Enter your email address and tap Next.

Incoming E-mail Server Setup

  1. Choose the type of mail account (either POP3 or IMAP) you will be using. Not all services provide both protocols! Please refer to the table below for the correct protocols.
    • IMAP protocol stores the emails on the server but it will display a cached copy on your device. IMAP is the recommended protocol in almost all cases.
    • POP3 downloads the emails from the remote server and it will keep them on your Android phone.
  2. Type in the passphrase for the e-mail address and tap Next.
  3. Please see the information below to complete the Incoming Server Settings settings.
  4. Tap Next. If there is an error, click Edit Settings.
