Question: What Are the Yahoo! Mail POP Settings?
Looking for the Yahoo! Mail POP server settings?
Answer: The Yahoo! Mail Plus POP server settings for accessing incoming messages in any email program are:
- Yahoo! Mail POP server address: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (or pop.mail.yahoo.com)
- Yahoo! Mail POP user name: Your Yahoo! Mail user name (if your Yahoo! Mail address is cchang@yahoo.com, for example, the user name is cchang; as an alternative, you can try your full Yahoo! Mail address — including "@yahoo.com")
- Yahoo! Mail POP password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
- Yahoo! Mail POP port: 995
- Yahoo! Mail POP TLS/SSL required: yes
To send mail through Yahoo! Mail from your email program in addition to receiving it, see the
- Yahoo! Mail SMTP server settings and
- detailed instructions for setting up Yahoo! Mail in your email program
Note that the Yahoo! Mail POP server settings above only work with Yahoo! Mail Plus accounts. For free Yahoo! Mail accounts (and as an alternative to POP access), see
- Yahoo! Mail IMAP server settings (which grant access to all your Yahoo! Mail online folders in addition to new messages) and
- accessing Yahoo! Mail in your email program or mobile device.
