Yahoo settings for Gmail

[Coldplay2022]

Hi,

I'm in the process of swapping from an iPhone to an Android device. I've created a Gmail account but it will not import my Yahoo emails (formerly Sky). Can anybody please advise on the POP/IMAP settings in Gmail that will solve this?

TIA

When setting it up via Gmail select Other as the email provider and use these settings:

• Server: imap.tools.sky.com or pop.tools.sky.com
• Port: 993 (for imap) or 993 (for pop)
• Security: SSL/TLS.
• Username: Your full email address.
• Password: Generated password

You can generate a 16 digit password to use here:

https://www.sky.com/sky-yahoo-mail/manage-apps

You need to use that instead of your usual Sky email password.

In the Gmail app, select the account as other and use a generated password. It should find the server settings for itself. If not here they are:

POP pop.tools.sky.com port 995 SSL

IMAP imap.tools.sky.com port 993 SSL

SMTP smtp.tools.sky.con port 465 SSL

Edit: as I pressed post, I thought to myself, bet @caesarome beats me to it, and he did. LOL

2nd edit: but he did get the POP port number wrong.
