Hi kc73,

 

You need to change the settings in Outlook to the Yahoo server settings:

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server

  • Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
  • Port - 993
  • Requires SSL - Yes

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server

  • Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
  • Port - 465 or 587
  • Requires SSL - Yes
  • Requires authentication - Yes

Your login info

  • Email address - Your full email address (name@domain.com)
  • Password - Generate App Password
  • Requires authentication - Yes

For additional support about Yahoo email servers, please contact Yahoo Email Support.

 

Thank you, 

 

Mike

    Thank you for your response!! As I pointed out I did change the server settings in outlook and am able to send and receive but I'm missing all my folders. If I look in the Yahoo mail - the folders are there but not listed under INBOX. 

    Normally it would look like this:

    Inbox
       Wedding
       US Open
       Italy

    But in outlook they don't exist and in yahoo it looks like this:

    Deleted messages
    Inbox/Wedding
    Inbox/US Open
    Inbox/Italy 

    Just need a way to download them from the new Yahoo mail to Outlook.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.
