  • the SMTP port should be 465. No need for manual setup. If you use GMail to check the account..Gmail will authenticate to Yahoo without the need for manual setup just be sure to remove the android prefix from the IMAP and SMTP server settings (android.smtp and android.imap) If you use Android email app....authentication is automatic as well...no need to manual setup.
