Yahoo settings for yahoo.co.uk e-mail addresses

To get my Yahoo (yahoo.co.uk) mail to work on k9 mail on the Android it didn't have the right settings.

It took a bit of Googling and experiment to find


smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SSL Port 465

imap.mail.yahoo.com
SSL Port 993

These also worked with my Windows 8 laptop when the default settings didn't.

k-9 Mail and Windows Live Mail

It's not used a great deal, but I have a Windows Live mail account and a slightly aging Android 2.1 phone (the Orange San Francisco).

While the Orange San Francisco is not my primary device it is useful for some purposes and reading e-mail is one I use it for.

Getting the Windows Live mail settings right in k-9 mail were a bit of a challenge.

I have a live.co.uk address but after a bit of experiment I found the following.

1) Windows Live mail doesn't seem to support IMAP
2) Windows Live mail doesn't seem to support the version of WebDav that k-9 does

so.....

it's POP3 then.

The settings that worked were

Fetching mail

Incoming server settings

e.mail.address@live.co.uk
password
pop3.live.com
SSL (if available)
PLAIN
995

Sending mail

Outgoing server settings
