Setting up Yahoo.fr for an iOS Device

History of Yahoo.fr

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.fr

Mail can find your email settings automatically then complete setting up your account. Apply these steps first to see if that will be possible:

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

If the Mail app didn't find your mail settings, then you will need to enter them yourself. We think you may need the following information:

Configuration Needed for Receiving Email with IMAP

Configuration Needed for Sending Email (using SMTP)

Tap Next, then follow these steps:

1. Choose IMAP or POP If you aren't sure which one to choose, contact Yahoo.fr
2. Type the information (You will want to refer to the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next.
3. If your e-mail settings are correct, click Save to complete the setup. If the mail settings are incorrect, you'll be asked to modify them
4. In case you still can't setup the e-mail account, or store your settings, contact the provider.
