Use the Mail app to send, receive, and manage email for all of your email accounts in one location. Simply add the accounts—such as iCloud, Exchange, Google, school, work, or other—you want to use in Mail.
Add an email account
- The first time you open the Mail app on your Mac, it may prompt you to add an account. Select an account type—if you don’t see your type, select Other Mail Account—then enter your account information.
- If you already added an email account, you can still add more. In Mail, choose Mail > Add Account, select an account type, then enter your account information. Make sure the Mail checkbox is selected for the account.
- If you’re using an account on your Mac with other apps, such as Contacts or Messages, you can also use that account with Mail. In Mail, choose Mail > Accounts to open Internet Accounts preferences, select the account on the left, then select the Mail checkbox on the right.
Temporarily stop using an email account
- In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Accounts.
- Select the account, then deselect the Mail checkbox.Now the account’s messages are not shown in Mail.
To use the account again with Mail, select the Mail checkbox; the account’s messages are shown again (they don’t need to be downloaded from the server again).

Remove an email account
When you remove an email account from Mail, the account’s messages are deleted and no longer available on your Mac. Copies of messages remain on the account’s mail server and are still available (from webmail, for example).
Important: If you’re unsure whether messages you want to keep are still on the mail server, move or copy them to a mailbox stored on your Mac (the mailbox appears in the On My Mac section in the Mail sidebar) before you delete the account in Mail.
- In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
- Select an account, then click the Remove button .Note: If the account is used by other apps on your Mac, you’re asked to remove the account in Internet Accounts System Preferences. Click the button to open Internet Accounts, then deselect the Mail checkbox for the account. To stop using the account in all apps, make sure the account is selected, then click the Remove button .

If you're a loyal Yahoo Mail user, you know that Yahoo has already discontinued its email application for Windows 10 and left you only with the web experience. However, if using the web browser is not your style to manage your emails, you can use other solutions like the desktop version of Microsoft Outlook.
Using the Outlook app, you don't only get the most robust inbox with great features to stay productive while managing emails, but it also offers many advantages over the web version of Yahoo. Some of which include a more intuitive interface without annoying ads, rich desktop and Lock screen notifications, Smart Lookup, advanced filters, rules and alerts, and much more.
In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to configure your Yahoo email account using the desktop version of Outlook 2016 available with Office 365, or you can also use these instructions to set up your account on Office 2013.
How to set up a Yahoo Mail account on the Outlook desktop app
If you have installed the desktop version of Outlook 2016 on your device, you can quickly set up and manage your Yahoo email account using the following steps:
- Sign in to your Yahoo Mail account using your web browser.
- On the top-right, click the menu (gear) button, and select Account Info.
- Click on Account Security.
- Turn on the Allow apps that use less secure sign in toggle switch.
- Important: This option is not available if two-step verification is enabled on your account. If this is your case, you'll need to create an app password before continuing with these steps -- You can do this with the steps mentioned below.
- Open the Outlook desktop app.
- Click on File.
- Click on Info.
- Click the Add account button.
- Select the Manual setup or additional server types option.
- Click Next.
- Select the POP or IMAP option.
- Click Next.
- Add your account and Yahoo mail server information:
- Your Name: First and last name
- Email Address: [email protected]
- Account Type: IMAP
- Incoming mail server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com
- User Name: [email protected]
- Password: Yahoo Mail password (or app password)
- Click the More settings button.
- Open the Outgoing Server tab.
- Check the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication option.
- Open the Advanced tab, and use the following settings:
- Incoming server (IMAP): 993
- Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
- Outgoing server (SMTP): 465
- Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
- Click OK.
- Click Next to complete the configuration process, which may take a little while.
- Click Close.
- Click Finish.
Once you've completed the steps, your account should start syncing with Outlook, and you can now start managing your emails as you would normally do on the web.
If you're having issues trying to set up Outlook with your Yahoo account, make sure to recheck your settings as there is a good chance that you mistyped a setting or missed a step.
Alternatively, if you don't like the Yahoo Mail web experience, and you don't have the desktop version of Outlook, you can use the Mail app for Windows 10 to send and receive Yahoo emails using these instructions.
How to create an app password for Outlook
If you're using Yahoo Mail with two-step verification, your password won't work. Instead, you'll need to create an app password to set up your account on Outlook 2016.
- Sign in to your Yahoo Mail account using your web browser.
- On the top-right, click the menu (gear) button, and select Account Info.
- Click on Account Security.
- Click the Generate app password link.
- On 'App Passwords,' use the drop-down menu, and select Outlook Desktop.
- Click the Generate button.
- Select and copy the the 16-digit password. (If you're typing the password, do not enter the spaces between each group, just type the password as a whole.)
- Paste the app password in the Password field on step No. 13 in the instructions mentioned above.
