Setting up IMAP on your mobile device

ID: SLN3361
Refers to: Mobile Mail , Mobile

Description

Learn how to configure your mobile device to use Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).


Resolution

To set up Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) on your mobile device, please use the following settings:

  • Incoming Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
  • Outgoing Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
  • Incoming Port: 993 (requires SSL)
  • Outgoing Port: 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
  • User name: full email address (for example, bill@yahoo.com or bill@rocketmail.com)
  • Password: the password you use to log in to Yahoo! with.

Note: If your Yahoo! Mail address does not match your Yahoo! ID, you will need to use the beginning of your Yahoo! Mail address when you set up your client. For example, if your Yahoo! Mail address is "jim@yahoo.com," but your Yahoo! ID is "james," you will need to use "jim" as your user name when setting up the IMAP client.

If you are having trouble setting up IMAP on your mobile device, we would recommend reviewing your phone's instruction manual or contacting your mobile provider.
