What is Yahoo.cn:

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

Configuring Yahoo.cn:

Mail app can find the e-mail settings itself, and set up your account. Apply these steps first in order to try:

  1. Go to Settings > Mail and tap Accounts
  2. Tap Add Account > Other, then tap Add Mail Account
  3. Enter your name (can be any name), your email address, your password then a description for your account.
  4. Click Next. Mail should now try to find the e-mail parameters and set up your account. If Mail finds the e-mail parameter, click Done to complete your setup.

In case the Mail app couldn't automatically set up your account, then you have to enter them manually. I think you may need the following information:

Setup Needed for Receiving Mail with IMAP

Server Hostnameimap.mail.yahoo.com
Server Port993
UsernameYour username (do not include the part after the @ sign)

SSL/TLSYes

Outgoing E-mail Server Settings (using SMTP)

Server Hostnamesmtp.mail.yahoo.com
Server Port465
UsernameYour username (do not include the part after the @ sign)
AuthenticationPassword

Tap Next, then follow these steps:

  1. Select IMAP or POP. If you don't know which one to select, contact Yahoo.cn.
  2. Type in the required information (You will want to have a look at the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next.
  3. If the e-mail setup is correct, click Save to finish . If the e-mail setup is incorrect, the app will ask you to edit those settings.
  4. If you still can't set up your e-mail account or save the email settings, contact Yahoo.cn.
