How to configure Yahoo China for an iPad/iPhone

First, a few words about Yahoo China

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 China

Mail app can find your e-mail parameters automatically, and set up your account. Apply these steps to see if that will be possible:

1. Go to Settings > Mail and click Accounts
2. Tap Add Account, tap Other, then click Add Mail Account.
3. Type in your name, email address, your password with a description for account
4. Tap Next. The Mail app should try and find the email parameters and finish your account setup. If Mail finds the email settings, click Done to complete your account setup.
