I was finally able to find a way to access my Yahoo mail from an external source. Its been a long time coming and I’ve been looking for it. Its hidden but atleast it now exist. Here are the steps to enable it either forwarding or POP3 access:
- In Yahoo, click on Options (top right) and Mail options

- Click finish, click on I Accept in the next screen and you’re done. It will ask for your password again, but you don’t have to put it in. Close out the window
- Go back to the original Yahoo window, which should be in the Options screen. Refresh the browser and go back to the Options/Mail Options screen
- As you may notice it would say Yahoo Asia! Mail on the top left corner

- When you click on Save, its going to send an email to the email address you specified with a confirmation code. Put that code in the field that it provides and you’re all set
For POP3
- Choose the Web or POP option
- Either select Spam Guarded option or receive ALL email option

- Click on the Save button. Your settings are now saved
- if you click on the View POP Settings link it will give you all the settings you need to configure your email client to access the mail in Yahoo. Here they are:
Incoming Mail Server (POP3): “pop.mail.yahoo.com” Use SSL, port: 995
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication
Account Name/Username: [email protected]
Email address: [email protected] (youraddress=whatever your yahoo address is)
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
