Android is by Google and it’s no mystery that Gmail will seamlessly work with it. But for you Yahoo! users out there, you may have been unsuccessful adding your Yahoo! Mail account to your Android device and ending up downloading a separate Yahoo! app just to check your mails.
Well, you can still add your Yahoo! account to the Android’s native mail app (so that you can check all your mails in one place) by doing a manual set up. Allow us to walk you through to the process.
1. First thing you want to do is go to Settings > Accounts and sync and choose IMAP/POP3 mail (or the equivalent in your device).
2. Enter your Yahoo! mail and password and click Manual Setup.
3. Choose IMAP protocol for Incoming using the following details:
- IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
- Security type: SSL
- Server port: 993
4. Click Next.
5. For Outgoing, use the following details:
- SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
- Security type: SSL
- Server port: 465
6. Click Next and your Yahoo! Mail should appear on your device’s mail app.
