How Do I Link My Yahoo Email to Microsoft Outlook?


Yahoo mail is one of the most advanced email service providers in the world and everyone wants to use their services. If you are using Yahoo mail professionally, then you must configure it in Outlook to get the most out of it. 

But before you start the procedure to add Yahoo mail in Outlook, you must take care of a few things within your Yahoo account. 

Enable IMAP or POP

Yahoo, by default, does not allow users to add their emails to third-party email clients. You need to change a setting from the account to enable that. 

Let’s have a look. 

  • First, you need to open your Yahoo mail in a browser and then click on the Account icon and then click on the Account Info option. 

  • After that, go to the Account Security option and then enable the ‘Allow apps that use the less secure sign-in option from the right panel. 

Once you are through with that, you can start the procedure to add Yahoo mail to Outlook

How to Set Yahoo mail to Outlook

Just follow the steps.

  • Open the Outlook on your computer and click on the File top from the top ribbon and then click on the Add Account option. 

  • Now, a new pop window will open, enter your email address and then click on the Connect button. 

  • Now, you will be asked for the password of the account, enter the password and then click on the Connect button.

  • And that’s it, you are done, your account is now added to Outlook seamlessly. 

You might be wondering, where to put the IMAP or POP settings for the account. Well, the latest version of Outlook automatically detects the settings for emails that have @yahoo.com or @ymail.com at the end. 

However, if your Yahoo mail is not working with Outlook or you can’t add Yahoo email to Outlook, then you must go to the support page of Yahoo. And only they will be able to help you out with this one.
