Setting up Yahoo.co.in for an iPhone
In this post I will try to demonstrate setting up Yahoo.co.in using IMAP and SMTP in an easy to follow language!
History of Yahoo.co.in
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
How to set up Yahoo.co.in
It is possible that Mail will find the configuration automatically, and complete setting up your account. Follow the following steps first to see if that will be possible:
- Open Settings, then Mail then tap Accounts
- Tap Add Account, tap Other, and tap Add Mail Account
- Type in your name (can be any name), email address, your password then a description for account
- Click Next. The Mail app should now try and find the e-mail settings and finish setting your account. If Mail finds your e-mail configuration, click Done to finish your account setup.
If the Mail app hasn't been able to find your email parameters, it means that you will have to enter them manually. We think you will need the information below:
Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) Setup
Server Hostname | imap.mail.yahoo.com |
Server Port | 993 |
Username | Your username (do not include the part after the @ sign) |
Authentication | Password |
SSL/TLS | Yes |
Outgoing E-mail Server Configuration
Server Hostname | smtp.mail.yahoo.com |
Server Port | 465 |
Username | Your username (do not include the part after the @ sign) |
Authentication | Password |
SSL/TLS | Yes |
Tap Next, then follow these steps:
- Choose IMAP or POP for your new account. If you don't know which one to choose, contact Yahoo.co.in.
- Type the required information (You may want to take a look at the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next.
- If your e-mail settings are correct, click Save to complete . If the email settings are incorrect, Mail will ask you to modify them
- If you still aren't able to setup the e-mail account, or store the email settings, contact your e-mail provider.
