How do I setup Yahoo! POP and SMTP accounts?

Posted in Email accounts

First, you will need to enable POP in your Yahoo! Mail Plus account:

  1. In a browser, go to your Yahoo! Mail Plus page.
  2. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the Options link.
  3. Under the Management topic on the Mail Options page, click the POP Access and Forwarding link.
  4. On the Pop Access and Forwarding page, make sure that the radio button in front of the Web & POP Access option is selected, then click the POP Settings link.
  5. Select the Web and POP Access option, then click the POP Settings link.

The POP Access Settings page that appears contains information about your Yahoo! Mail Plus settings. You’ll need this information to configure Relenta to work with the Yahoo! Mail server.

Then configure Relenta to access Yahoo! Mail Plus POP and SMTP mail servers.
