How to get my incoming yMail server?

What is the outgoing mail server for yahoo?

• I want to link my ymail to the email on my mac. I have tried: plus.smtp.yahoo.com but get a message that the SMTP server is not responding and the server name may not be correct.

• Answer:

  In order to use a separate email program, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird (see below), with Yahoo Mail you can use POP3 or IMAP. It is also needed when using any program or right clicking on a file to directly send email. POP3 is free in the UK, AU, and NZ but in the US you must pay for Yahoo Mail Plus. IMAP can be used free anywhere. When you do you can set the servers as follows: Incoming (POP3)      US - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL; Port 995      UK - pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL; Port 995      AU and NZ - pop.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL; Port 995 Outgoing (SMTP)      US - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com Use TLS; Port 465      UK - smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL and TLS; Port 465      AU and NZ - smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL and TLS; Port 465 Incoming (IMAP)      US - imap.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL/TLS; Port 993      (For outgoing use the SMTP server. Not available for free in the US.) NOTE: The same servers are used for ymail and rocketmail. Use the entire email address as the Yahoo ID. There is an add on for Thunderbird that will allow many web email accounts including Yahoo without the need for POP3. Go to http://webmail.mozdev.org/ NOTE: I have not been able to get this to work. Maybe it will not work with Beta yet. If you are running Thunderbird 3 and Yahoo Beta Mail and it works, please contact me. ₪ ʎəɿʞɹɐq ₪
