New/Upcoming Switch to Yahoo email

With the switch to Yahoo Mail per https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/yahoo-email-migration-overview

Does anyone know what will be the new IMAP and SMTP server settings?

Needed for third party email clients.

I also gather that Xfinity web mail will no longer be available after the switch.

Thus, we will have to access emails through the Yahoo web portal.

If you cancel Xfinity will you still be able access one's email as per https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/using-email-only.

But, substituting Xfinity web mail for Yahoo web mail.

Just wanting to get a heads up.

I do hope Yahoo mail has a better spam filter than what it was many years ago.

The servers should probably be the standard Yahoo mail ones:

Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 993
Requires SSL - Yes

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server

Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 465 or 587
Requires SSL - Yes
Requires authentication - Yes

Your login info

Email address - Your full email address (name@domain.com)
Password - Generate App Password
Requires authentication - Yes

POP settings for Yahoo Mail

Incoming Mail (POP) Server

Server - pop.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 995
Requires SSL - Yes

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server

Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 465 or 587
Requires SSL - Yes
