Question

How do I connect my Yahoo e-mail with my mail icon on my apple computer?

Answer 1

Goto Mail and setup a new account

Now enter the following details.

Incoming Mail Server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk

For yahoo.com addresses this would be pop.mail.yahoo.com I guess

Use SSL, port: 995

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk

Same as above (Might be .com)

Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication

Account Name/Username: Your Yahoo! address

Email address: Your Yahoo! address

Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password

Remember to switch on SSL
