How add a mailbox hosted by Yahoo!


Yahoo! supports app passwords. This means you get to create a password specifically for Onkho to use rather than your own password. This is more secure and we recommend that you use this feature.


You can find out more about third-party app passwords by checking Yahoo! Help.

  5. Enter the mailbox's email address
  6. Set how the mailbox is going to be used - at least one of the options must be selected
  7. Select Yes if the mailbox should always be suggested by default when sending an email - note this is a suggestion, you can always change it if you have multiple mailboxes
  8. Add an optional signature and disclaimer - consider using templates so you can re-use the signatures and disclaimers on other mailboxes

Once you've added a mailbox, you should see it in the list of mailboxes. You should then test the mailbox to make sure it's working correctly.
