Accessing Yahoo mail on your phone is quite convenient and you don’t need to log in to your laptop to check your email. If you are an iPhone user, the process of setting up Yahoo Mail on iPhone may be a little different. Additionally, you have three options for accessing your email which I will explain in detail in this guide.
Option-1 Yahoo Account Setup in iPhone Mail App
Here are the steps to follow to set up your Yahoo email account in the iPhone Mail app:
- Go to the “Settings” corner of your iPhone.
- Proceed to the “Passwords & Accounts” section, then tap “Add Account”.
- In the list you see, tap “Yahoo.”
- Enter the username of your Yahoo email account and press ‘Next’.
- On the next screen, enter your password and tap ‘Login’.
- You will see a switch next to ‘Mail’, toggle it to ‘On’. You can even toggle the switches next to Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, and Notes to ‘On’.
- Tap ‘Save’ and your Yahoo email account will start syncing to your iPhone.
This is how you can add Yahoo mail to your iPhone. But that’s not enough, you need to know how to access emails, which is explained below:
- Click on the Mail icon displayed on the home screen.
- Then tap on Yahoo to open your Yahoo Mail inbox.
- After you receive an email from Yahoo, touch it to open and read it.
- You can also use the icons at the bottom of each email to perform actions like Flag, Move, Trash, Reply/Print/Forward, and New Message.
Option-2 Access mail in the official Yahoo Mail application
You can use the official Yahoo app to access and send email. The app may have some features that you won’t find in the built-in iPhone app. You don’t need to do anything to check your email. Just enter your username and password on the login screen and you’ll be able to read, organize, and send email from your Yahoo Inbox.
Option-3 Access Yahoo Mails in Safari
The next available option is to use the Safari web browser on your iPhone. Open the browser on your device and go to the official Yahoo link. After that, enter your username and password to log in to your Yahoo account and verify your email.
Yahoo mail server settings
The options explained above do not require any changes to your Yahoo Mail for iPhone settings. The reason is that you can directly access the account from the web. However, you may need to work with your iPhone’s Yahoo Mail settings to set up your account manually, or if the above options didn’t work. If you’re having trouble sending email or Yahoo email won’t download to your iPhone, you’ll be prompted to sign in to Yahoo Mail using the POP, SMTP, and IMAP settings as appropriate.
