Set Up Your Yahoo Mail Account In Microsoft Outlook 2013

Yahoo Mail is not only a well-liked webmail service; it is actually one of the first webmail services to be introduced. Owing to its long legacy, millions of people prefer Yahoo Mail to other webmail services.

You cannot access Yahoo Mail or any other webmail account offline. However, if you set up email in Outlook, you will be able to access your Yahoo Mail inbox and read the messages you have received in it already. Yet of course, you will not be able to send and receive any emails when you are offline.

How to set up Yahoo Mail in Outlook

You can set up your Yahoo Mail account in Microsoft Outlook in a few simple steps. Read the below given instructions carefully and work them out to set up your Yahoo Mail account in Outlook 2013.

Steps to follow
  • Open Outlook 2013 application and navigate to the File tab.
  • Choose Add Account from the resulting options. Click on Manual setup or additional server type option, followed by Next.
  • Set POP3 as the email type, and go to the Account Settings page. Furnish all the fields with appropriate information.
  • Make sure that the checkbox against Require Logon using Secure Password Authentication option is left unselected. However, if you wish to allow Outlook to access your Yahoo Account without you having to type the password every time, you can select the Remember Password checkbox. This will save you from typing the password to access your Yahoo Mail account after launching Outlook.
  • Now, select the More Settings button and press the tab titled Outgoing server.
  • Select the box next to My Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication option. After that, select the checkbox against Use same settings as my incoming mail server, and click on the tab labelled Advanced.
  • Enter port numbers. For Incoming server (POP3): 995, and for Outgoing Server (SMTP): 465, 25 or 587. Make sure type of encryption is set to SSL or TSL.
  • Save the changes you made by clicking on the OK button. Restart your Outlook email client application to allow the changes to take into effect.
