sky mail not working in yahoo

[sputnick]

I have intalled yahoo but cant get my sky mails to work with it.

If i do so thrjough sky page it works but keeps asking for login and verification

As the sky mail is the one i mostly use it is very tedious

I dont have this problem with my emails in yahoo using mobile phone.

When you say you have installed Yahoo what device is this in and what app or program are you using as you might need to use these settings after selecting "other" as the email provider:

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server

Server - imap.tools.sky.com
Port - 993
Requires SSL - Yes

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server

Server - smtp.tools.sky.com
Port - 465
Requires SSL - Yes
Requires authentication - Yes

You will then need to generate a 16 digit password and use that instead of your usual one, you can do that here:

On what device is this? You say it works on your mobile, so what else are you trying to use it on.

cant get it to work on windows 10 pc with yahoo without going to sky page, login in and then veryfing

seems a long winded way to get my sky mail

Using yahoo mail on mobile i just click mail

[sputnick]

i prefer to use sky mail as its my mail email and all my clients know it

Are you using this link:

https://skyid.sky.com/signin/email/

The settings I posted will allow you to access your emails via programs like Outlook.

@sputnick 

I'm confused.  There is no such thing as Yahoo on Windows 10, in that there  is no Yahoo app.

You can ether use a browser or an app/client. (AFAIK)

If you wish to use a browser, use this link: https://skyid.sky.com/signin/email

If you wish to use an app/client, let us know which one it is.

Thanks for reply.

I can access my sky mail as you suggest but since sky has changed things doing it that way i have to login and verify each time

where i never had to previously

Fine on phone with yahoo but not on pc

[caesarome]

Do you mean you have to verify each time you login here:

https://skyid.sky.com/signin/email

If so do you use a VPN, if so try disabling it.

Also you may be blocking cookies in your browser, so try using a different browser.

Edit: Also you haven't said what app/client you want to use on Windows 10, I suggest not using the Windows 10 email app, as that has problems at the moment. Anything else should be O.K.
