Set Up a Yahoo Account in iPhone Mail
If you don’t have one, you can create a free Yahoo Mail account by visiting Yahoo and completing a simple application.
To set up your Yahoo email account in the iPhone Mail app:
Open the iPhone Settings. Select Mail > Accounts in iOS 14. (Select Passwords & Accounts in iOS 13 or iOS 12, or Accounts & Passwords in iOS 11. ) Tap Add Account. Select Yahoo from the menu that opens. Enter your Yahoo username in the field provided for it and tap Next. Enter your password on the next screen and select Next. Toggle the switch next to Mail to the On position. Optionally, also toggle the switches next to Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, and Notes to the On position. Tap Save.
Access Yahoo Mail in iPhone Mail
Now that you have set up your account on the iPhone, you can check your Yahoo email at any time. To do this:
Optionally, also toggle the switches next to Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, and Notes to the On position.
On the Home screen, tap the Mail icon. In the Mailboxes screen, tap Yahoo to open your Yahoo Mail Inbox. Tap any email in the Inbox to open it and read the content. Use the icons at the bottom of each open email to take action. The icons represent Trash, Move, Flag/Reply/Print/Forward, and Compose. You don’t have to open each email. In the Inbox, swipe to the left to Flag, Trash, or take another action from directly in the Inbox.
Access Yahoo Mail in Safari or the Yahoo Mail App
You don’t have to add Yahoo Mail to the iPhone Mail app to access your email on the phone. You have other options.
Tap the Safari web browser icon on the iPhone Home screen and enter the Yahoo mail URL. After you enter your username and password, you can view your Inbox on the iPhone screen. Download the Yahoo Mail app (which Yahoo recommends over the other methods). After you log in, you can read, organize, and send emails from all your inboxes.
