How To Setup Yahoo Mail In FoxMail?

FoxMail is a preferred email client for thousands of users because it is loaded with great features and provides excellent performance in terms of email handling, security, and other necessary facilities. However, you can use it to manage Email Accounts from other email systems like Gmail and yahoo mail.

Since Gmail, Yahoo's main competitor, has always allowed their users to use their email through IMAP and POP for free, Yahoo was also pushed to offer this feature.

IMAP( Internet Mail Access Protocol) allows you to use any available email client such as Fox Mail, Gmail, and Mozilla Thunderbird to either send or receive messages from a Yahoo Mail address. The IMAP settings ensure you can access your mail through Yahoo folders.

Yahoo mail also uses POP (Post Office Protocol) which is an older email standard. POP governs the receipt of messages. With IMAP and POP, you can easily manage your Yahoo emails from your clients.

The main difference between the two is that POP allows only one-way sync while IMPA allows two-way sync. This means that if you delete an email from the Yahoo app, the mail will also be deleted from email servers. On the other hand, POP is one-way. Thus, deleting an email will only delete it in Yahoo, but it will stay on your server.
