I checked Yahoo! Mail and I’d received this email: I kept getting an error message in Outlook telling me they couldn’t connect to my Yahoo! Mail account. Please note: The first time I tried this, it didn’t work. įirst, let’s get your Yahoo! Mail set up on Microsoft’s popular Outlook client (the cloud-based Live and Hotmail accounts, not the desktop client). In the past, you’d need to set up POP3 or IMAP manually, but both Outlook and Gmail can configure the IMAP/POP3 settings automatically for you. IMAP also means you don’t need to organise your Yahoo! Mail account separately (deleting read mail etc.), as it synchronises with Yahoo! Mail’s servers. If you want to just view new emails then POP3 is fine. So if you delete your Yahoo! Mail email within Gmail, it will be reflected when you log into your Yahoo! Mail account.Ĭhoosing one over the other depends on what you want to do. This newer method lets you access Yahoo! Mail and make changes that synchronize between the two clients. IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. Also, you can only access the emails in your Inbox (not other folders). If you make changes, such as deleting an email, this only affects your new client and not your Yahoo! Mail account. It downloads emails from Yahoo! Mail’s server to your new email client without synchronizing.
