Answer 1

Hello,

The AI answer is showing you how to add Yahoo in the Outlook app.

But looks like you are asking how to add Yahoo address to your Outlook account, as an alias, not in Outlook App, is that right?

If so, Go to your personal account via this link: https://account.live.com

Go to Your Info > Sign in preference, Add an alias.

Add existing: this will allow you to add a 3rd party email address, such as yahoo, gmail, as long as they are not already associated with another Microsoft account.

=============

However, you do need to make sure this Yahoo address is not already associated with another Microsoft account. If it is, you want to give that Microsoft account a different alias first, then delete the Yahoo address from there, so that you can bring it over to the Microsoft account you want to add to.

Hi Michael Hudspeth

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum. I understand that you'd like to add your Yahoo email account to Outlook so you can receive and manage your Yahoo emails there.

Please make sure you have already tried the steps provided by Q&A Assist above. In addition to those steps, please follow the instructions below if you are experiencing any issues during the setup process:

1. Sign in to your Yahoo Mail account using a web browser.
2. Go to Account Security and enable Allow apps that use less secure sign-in, if it is turned off.
3. If your Yahoo account uses two-step verification, generate an app password and keep it ready.
4. Use this app password instead of your regular Yahoo password when adding the account to Outlook.
5. Open Outlook, go to File, and select Add Account.
6. Enter your full Yahoo email address, select Advanced options, and check Let me set up my account manually.
7. Choose IMAP, then sign in using your Yahoo email address and password (or app password).
8. Restart Outlook and confirm that your Yahoo emails are syncing correctly.
