Configuring Yahoo.ru for your Android Device
With this post we will try to explain setting up Yahoo.ru with IMAP and SMTP for an Android Tablet in a simple language.
First, a few words about Yahoo.ru:
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 configure Yahoo.ru:

Incoming Email Setup
- Choose the type of e-mail account (either POP3 or IMAP) you want to use. Some services may not provide both. Refer to the information below for the correct protocols.
