Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The converted Cox email to yahoo still uses the Cox email account name, which prevents "adding new account" in Outlook. I was finally able to change the server settings to the Yahoo settings but still can't send/receive email with Outlook. Webmail is working.
Yes it works with both versions
What do you mean "yahoo only connects with the new version of outlook."?
Will Office 2021 work? Or will I have to upgrade to Office 365?
Accessing Cox Mail Through Yahoo on Outlook https://youtu.be/m56XSrK-SzI This will solve your issue
Hello again Joe,
If Yahoo Mail only connects with the new version of Outlook, it’s likely because newer versions of Outlook support more secure authentication protocols that Yahoo (and many other email services) require for added security. To connect your Yahoo Mail to the latest versions of Outlook:
Open Outlook and go to the File menu. Choose Add Account. Enter your Yahoo Mail address, and Outlook should guide you through the process, which typically involves entering your password and possibly a two-factor authentication code. If there are specific requirements or settings needed, Yahoo’s help documentation or Microsoft Outlook support can provide the detailed server settings (IMAP/SMTP) required.
Hope this helps
