Have you done that ? If not, adding the «plus » prefix won’t help.

That is the extent of my know-how. If I am wrong someone please correct me.

How to sign into Windows 10 Mail with a Yahoo account

• Manage ALL your emails in a single inbox
• Easy to integrate popular apps (Facebook, Todoist, LinkedIn, Dropbox, etc.)
• Access all your contact from a single environment
• Get rid of errors and lost email data

Email made easy & beautiful

Microsoft’s in-house Mail app for Windows 10 is one of the best email clients for the system, supporting all the big email services including Outlook, Gmail, and Yahoo.

Syncing an email account with Windows 10 Mail is a piece of cake for the majority of users, but can be tougher for others. For example, most Gmail and Outlook users have no problems connecting their accounts with the Mail app, but Yahoo users often have trouble signing in.

While it may seem like an error, in actuality users logging in with Yahoo are required to enable a certain setting in Windows 10’s Mail app first.

If you’re using Yahoo mail and have problems syncing it with the Windows 10 Mail app, here’s what you need to do:

1. Log in to your Yahoo account in a browser (www.mail.yahoo.com)
2. Click on your name in the upper-right corner of the screen, and choose Account Info
3. Now go to Account security, and turn on Allow apps that use less secure sign in
4. Save the changes.

After doing this, try logging in with your Yahoo mail account to Windows 10’s Mail app and you should have no problems.

For some reason Yahoo recognizes Windows 10’s Mail app as an app that is less secure than other email clients. So, turning this option off is required to be able to normally sync the two services. A lot of people didn’t know about this which is why they reported it as a problem.

If you experience other problems with Windows 10’s Mail app, check this article out for potential solutions.

Yahoo Mail is one of the most popular web email services on the modern market, and in addition to accessing their services via a browser, PC users also can check their mail, compose new messages, and access a full suite of Yahoo Mail services via their official Windows 10 app. Available exclusively on Windows Store, this streamlined email client application enables anyone to recreate the full browser experience straight inside the standalone application that has access to all the Windows features that users can think of. The app is lightweight, optimized for easy control with its traditional interface, and full support for Windows desktop notifications and lock screen messages that will keep you up to date with any new email messages.

The user interface of the official Yahoo Mail app for Windows 10 follows the same design layout present in its full web version. The app is fast to boot, offers full access to profile and email client customization, and a wide array of advanced options, and Windows-only features. This includes support for Live Tiles, better inbox organization with folders and Smart Views, contact importing from Facebook, Gmail, Outlook or AOL services, multitasking within the app, a powerful search engine that can seek for in-message content such as images and documents, 20+ themes support for transforming the inbox to your liking, built-in synchronization between Yahoo Mail and Microsoft People, and even re-routing of email traffic from Gmail, Outlook, or second Yahoo account directly to your Yahoo Mail account.

Users should be aware that in previous years yahoo mail was the target of more than one privacy breach, but the technical team behind this service has beefed up its security measures and implemented the strongest encryption and user authentication measures currently available. Modern Yahoo Mail prides itself on being as fast, easy to use, and secure as any other large webmail platform.

All these features (and many others) make the official Yahoo Mail PC app one of the best ways anyone can interact with their webmail. The app can be downloaded in mere seconds from its official Microsoft Store page.

How to set up a Yahoo email account in the Mail app on Windows 10

Yahoo has stopped supporting its «Yahoo Mail» app for Windows 10, and this means that if you’re still an avid user of Yahoo mail, starting May 22, 2017, you’ll no longer be able to check your emails using the app.

While the company has advised users to switch to the web browser experience, you can still use other solutions, such as the Mail app included with Windows 10. This app not only includes support for Yahoo mail but it offers many of the same features, including desktop and Lock screen notifications, dynamic Live Tile updates in the Start menu, and theming with custom color schemes and backgrounds. It also won’t bombard you with ads, unlike Yahoo’s email website.

In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll walk you through the easy steps to set up a Yahoo email account in the built-in Mail app. We tell you steps to fix specific sync issues that may occur after configuring the account, and we also look at the steps to uninstall the no longer supported Yahoo Mail app from your device.

How to add a Yahoo email account to the Mail app

The Windows 10 Mail app makes it super easy to manage emails from many different services, and you can use the following steps to add your Yahoo email account.

1. Open Mail.
2. Click the Settings (gear) button located in the bottom-left corner.

Inside the Settings flyout, click on Manage Accounts.

Click on Add account.

Click Yahoo! from the list.

Click Next.

Click Sign in.

Click Agree to allow the app to access your Yahoo account.

Once you completed the steps, your emails will begin to sync with the app, and you can start managing your account as you would normally do with Yahoo Mail.

How to customize a Yahoo email account settings

Using the default Mail app included with Windows 10, it’s also possible to customize a number of options for your Yahoo account.

Open Mail.

Right-click your Yahoo account and click Account settings.

Using the Yahoo account settings, you can change the account name to something more descriptive, which can come in handy when managing multiple accounts.

You can also click Change mailbox sync settings to manage your Yahoo email account sync settings.

In this page, you can change how often Mail should check for new emails, contacts, and calendars, which can help to save data and battery life.

Additionally, there is an option to change the name you use to send your messages, and under «Sync option,» you can quickly control whether you want only sync emails, or calendars and contacts as well.

You’ll find a number of advanced options, but it’s not something regular users need to configure, as the app sets these settings automatically.

How to fix sync problems with a Yahoo email account

In some cases, after configuring an account using the Windows 10 Mail app, you may receive an error trying to sync emails.

You may come across this error as a result of recent Yahoo security changes, but it’s something that Microsoft has fixed by implementing OAuth (Open Authorization) security support for Yahoo accounts with the Windows 10 Creators Update.

If you’re having this issue, it’s probably because your device is not running the latest version of Windows 10. You can use our guide to installing the Creators Update on your computer to resolve this problem.

If after the upgrade you’re still unable to sync your emails, you can try the following:

1. Configure two-step verification on your Yahoo account.
2. Set up an app password.
3. On Windows 10, open Mail.
4. Right-click your Yahoo account and click Account settings.
5. Type the newly created app password.

After entering the app password, your emails should start syncing with the Mail app again.

How to uninstall the Yahoo Mail app on Windows 10

After May 22nd, the Yahoo Mail will no longer work, which means that it’s also a good idea to remove it from your computer.

To uninstall Yahoo Mail from your device, do the following:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Apps (or click on «System» if you’re not running the Creators Update).
3. Click on Apps & features.
4. Select the Yahoo Mail app and click the Uninstall button.
5. Click the Uninstall button to confirm.
