If you want to access your Yahoo emails from Outlook, Microsoft's email client, you need to configure your Yahoo Mail account in Outlook using IMAP or POP server settings. These protocols allow you to synchronize your emails between Yahoo's server and your email client.

Before setting up your Yahoo Mail account on Outlook , you must:

• Enable IMAP or POP access in your Yahoo Mail account settings. To do this, log in to your Yahoo Mail account, click the settings icon in the top right corner, and then click More settings. In the left-hand menu, click Email accounts, and then click your Yahoo account. Under Account access, enable the option Allow apps that use a less secure password.
• Generate an app password for Outlook . This password is different from your regular Yahoo Mail password and is required to use two-factor authentication. To generate it, sign in to your Yahoo Mail account, click the settings icon in the top right corner, and then click Account Info. In the left-hand menu, click Account Security, and then click Manage App Passwords. Select Outlook from the drop-down list, and then click Generate. Copy the app password and keep it for future reference.

Once you have enabled IMAP or POP access and generated an application password for Outlook, you can configure your Yahoo Mail account in Outlook by following these steps:

• Open Outlook and click on the File tab.
• Click on Add an account.
• Enter your Yahoo email address and click on Advanced Options.
• Check the box "Configure my account manually" and click on "Login".
• Choose the type of account you wish to use: IMAP or POP. We recommend using IMAP as it allows bidirectional synchronization between the server and the client.

• Enter the IMAP or POP server settings, depending on your preference. Here are the settings to use:
  • For IMAP :
    • Incoming server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    • Incoming port: 993
    • Encoding type: SSL/TLS
    • Outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    • Outgoing port: 465 or 587
    • Encoding type: SSL/TLS
  • For POP :
    • Incoming server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
    • Incoming port: 995
    • Encoding type: SSL/TLS
    • Outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    • Outgoing port: 465 or 587
    • Encoding type: SSL/TLS
• Click Next.
• Enter the application password you generated earlier and click Login.

Your Yahoo Mail account is now configured on Outlook and you can send and receive emails from the software.
