I have several yahoo mail (full featured) accounts and I have never been able to access them through Outlook 2010. No problems with web access thru any browser. Here are the settings:
Incoming Mail (POP) Server
Server - pop.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 995
Requires SSL - Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 465 or 587
Requires SSL - Yes
Requires TLS - Yes (if available)
Requires authentication - Yes
Login info
User Name: everything to the left of the @ sign in the email address
e.g., name for name@yahoo.com
Password - Account password.
Requires authentication - Yes
Server always rejects the logon attempt:
I have read where yahoo requires an app password or requires DMARC authentifcation but I don't know whether that is true or not. If so I don't think I would be able to access my yahoo account through Outlook 2010. Any way I would appreciate some help here.
Try to set up a new Yahoo account. In Outlook, click File > Info > Add Account. Select E-mail Account and choose Manually configure server settings or additional server types, then click Next.
Select Internet E-mail and click Next. Then fill in the following fields:
Your Name: your name
E-mail Address: your.email@domain.com
Account Type: POP3
Incoming mail server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com
User Name: your.email@domain.com
Password: your password
Remember password: Yes
Once done, click the More settings button, select the Outgoing Server tab and check the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and Use same settings as my incoming server options.
Next, in the same window, select the Advanced tab and enter the server port settings:
Incoming server (POP3): 995
This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL): Yes
Outgoing server (SMTP): 587
Use the following type of encrypted connection: TLS
Save by clicking Ok and click the Test Account Settings button to make sure that everything is correct. Then click Next > Finish.
