With Yahoo mail, there is another step before you can send and receive mail.

1. Select Tools > Accounts from the toolbar.
2. Choose the email account that was just created, and then click Properties on the right. 
3. Click the Server tab . 
4. Check the box that says “My server requires authentication”.
   
   

   

5. Click the Advanced tab. 
6. Check the box that says “This server requires a secure connection (SSL).
7. Enter “465” in the “Outgoing mail” field. 
8. Check the box that says “This server requires a secure connection (SSL)".  
9. The Incoming mail field should automatically change to 995. 

If you cannot download your mail due to a connection problem, then you may need to double-check your account login and password information. Also, be sure you followed the steps carefully. A single mistake in an entry would negate the connection.

Now let’s get started adding contacts, creating new emails, and organizing incoming emails.
