Often I setup PDA’s / Phones to access Yahoo Mail, especially with a PLUS account.
For those of you with a Yahoo Plus Email account – these work the best (via IMAP4)
Yahoo – PLUS
Incoming Settings
User Name:User@yahoo.com
Password: Password of your yahoo mail
Incoming mail server:Â Â imap.n.mail.yahoo.com
Mailbox Name: Yahoo
Mailbox type: IMAP4
Security(Ports): Off /none
Port: 143
Outgoing Settings
SMTP Server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Security type:Â SSL
Require Sign In / Authentication
User Name:User@yahoo.com
Password: Password of your yahoo mail
IMAP4 means it will stay sync’d up as you use Yahoo in other places, SSL on outgoing is required for SPAM prevention.
Happy Yahoo’n
