Hello...
I was wondering what the consensus on WHICH IMAP server settings to use for Yahoo "regular" (non-"Plus") email accounts?? I have tried the following THREE IMAP server settings and ALL worked but was wondering what the different is/preferred one is/reason is for one over the other??
I am using K-9 Mail. Here are the two settings I have used. I MANUALLY entered (3) below and when I had K-9 automatically do what it does when it "sees" a Yahoo address, I got (2) below. I can't quite tell the difference nor do I know what the difference is:
(1)
Incoming Settings
IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Security Type: SSL
Outgoing Settings
SMTP Server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Security Type: SSL (Accept all certificates)
(2)
Only difference with (1) above is Security Type and Port:
Incoming Settings
IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143
Security Type: TSL
Outgoing Settings
SMTP Server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 25
Security Type: TSL
(3)
Only difference with (1) above is the addition of "android" in front of the server and removal of "mobile" for the SMTP server:
Incoming Settings
IMAP Server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Security Type: SSL
Outgoing Settings
SMTP Server: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Security Type: SSL (Accept all certificates)
So what is recommended?? What's the difference??
THANKS!!
