It's the usual procedure but you set up as an IMAP account on your devices
Welcome to Android Central! I agree with Pugs1957. Here are the Yahoo IMAP settings: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN4075.html. Read more about the difference between IMAP and POP3 here: IMAP vs POP3
Hi,
I'm new to the Android world and I guess that I needed to create an account in order to reply . Unfortunately I have Verizon/Yahoo email and it doesn't support IMAP, so I guess for the time being I'll need to delete emails in two places.
Thanks for registering! Do you have Verizon DSL? I saw that their email service is still stuck with POP3 only.:-\
But I also saw this thread: https://forums.verizon.com/t5/High-S...gs/td-p/377833. Try those IMAP settings (you'll have to enter them manually), and see if it works.
I have Verizon FIOS. I tried the settings in the link but they didn't work.
It sounds like Verizon/Yahoo is just limited to POP3, then. If it's important to you, consider migrating to a different email provider, like Gmail. You can set up Gmail to import all of your Yahoo mail--I do that with my old Yahoo account (which I use as my address to register on websites, so that my Gmail account doesn't get inundated with spam).
