How to retrieve your emails using Yahoo Mail

Yahoo Mail still allows you to collect email from other accounts, but the setup process has changed. You will now need to create a Yahoo App Password to connect securely.

What you will need

o A Yahoo Mail account
o Your full email address (for example: you@yourdomain.co.uk)
o Access to your email via webmail (for confirmation emails)

Step 1 - Log in to Yahoo Mail

Visit https://mail.yahoo.com

Log in to your Yahoo Mail account (or create one if you do not already have one).

Step 2 - Open Mail settings

Click the Settings (cog icon) in the top right corner.

Select More Settings.

Step 3 - Add your Seren Web email account

Select Mailboxes from the left-hand menu.

Under Add mailbox, choose Other mailbox.

Enter your full email address and continue.

Step 4 - Create a Yahoo App Password

Yahoo will now ask you to generate an App Password. This is required and replaces your normal Yahoo password for mail connections.

Follow the on-screen instructions to generate the app password.

Important: Copy this password exactly -- you will need it in the next step.

Step 5 - Enter mail server details

When prompted, enter the following details:

Email address: your full email address
Username: your full email address
Password: the Yahoo App Password you just created
POP server: mail.serenweb.com
Port: 995
Security: SSL enabled

Continue to complete the setup.

Confirmation email

Yahoo may send a confirmation email to your Seren Web inbox.

If you do not currently receive mail elsewhere, log in to: https://webmail.serenweb.com

Use your full email address and password, then check your Inbox for the Yahoo confirmation message.

All finished

Yahoo Mail will now regularly collect new email from your Seren Web account and display it inside Yahoo Mail.

Your emails remain safely stored on the Seren Web server unless you choose otherwise.
