Here are the settings you’ll need to use to configure Yahoo Mail as an SMTP server:Server address: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
(use 465
for SSL/TLS) Secure Connection: STARTTLS
Authentication: username and password
You will also need to supply your Yahoo email address and password to the SMTP client you are using.Here’s an example of how to configure Yahoo Mail as an SMTP server in the popular email client, Mozilla Thunderbird:
Open Thunderbird Go to the “Account Settings” option from the “File” menu Click on “Outgoing Server (SMTP)” on the left sidebar Click on the “Add” button to add a new SMTP server Enter a name for the server (e.g. “Yahoo Mail”) In the “Server Name” field, enter smtp.mail.yahoo.com
In the “Port” field, enter 587
Select STARTTLS
for the connection security Check the “Use name and password” option Enter your Yahoo email address and password Click on the “OK” button to save the settings
You should now be able to send email using your Yahoo Mail account from Thunderbird.Note that again, please make sure that your account is set to allow usage of external clients, otherwise it might not be able to send emails using the above settings. Additionally, different email clients might have different UI and terminology for the same concepts, but the settings are relatively similar.
