Let’s see whether we can download Yahoo Mail to Microsoft Outlook.
To download your email from Yahoo Mail into a third-party email program, such as Thunderbird, Outlook, or Mac Mail, use the IMAP settings listed below.
Please contact the app developer if you require special instructions to monitor the status of your download or to customize your app with our settings.
Until an email is opened, certain apps download a preview or snippet of your emails by default. Verify that your app is configured to download your email in its entirety for offline reading.
When your program asks you to "keep mail on the server" during setup, choose "yes," otherwise when it downloads, your email will be removed from your account.
It could be difficult to download every email from folders holding 100,000 or more emails.
Move part of the email to a new folder in your account to fix this.
Email address: Your complete email address ([email protected])
Password: Your account’s password
Requires authentication – Yes
Server: export.imap.mail.yahoo.com
