Before you connect

What you need

Your Yahoo address

yahoo.com, ymail.com and rocketmail.com addresses all work the same way.

An app password (required)

Yahoo does not accept your normal password over IMAP. Create an app password under Account Security, name it anything, and paste it here.

Yahoo Mail works best with a revocable app password.

Under the hood

Server settings we auto-fill

You never type these. We detect them from your address and verify them live against Yahoo’s servers — they’re here for the curious.

Server settings
IMAP
imap.mail.yahoo.com:993
SMTP
smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
Encryption
SSL/TLS
Calendar: yes

Yahoo Calendar speaks CalDAV at caldav.calendar.yahoo.com. We discover it when you connect, so your assistant can read your agenda and add events.

Let Claude read your Yahoo inbox

One URL in your assistant and you’re connected in about a minute. Free forever until you outgrow it — no card, no trial clock.
