Yahoo Mail

Yahoo Mail is one of the most popular web email services on the modern market, and in addition to accessing their services via a browser, PC users also can check their mail, compose new messages, and access a full suite of Yahoo Mail services via their official Windows 10/Windows 11 app.



Available exclusively on Windows Store, this streamlined email client application enables anyone to recreate the full browser experience straight inside the standalone application that has access to all the Windows features that users can think of.

The app is lightweight, optimized for easy control with its traditional interface, and full support for Windows desktop notifications and lock screen messages that will keep you up to date with any new email messages.

Yahoo Mail desktop app for Windows 11/10 has been discontinued

The Yahoo Mail desktop app for Windows 11 and Windows 10 has been discontinued. Going forward, you can access your Yahoo Mail account using your web browser.

The user interface of the official desktop app follows the same design layout present in its full web version.

The app is fast to boot, offers full access to profile and email client customization, and a wide array of advanced options, and Windows-only features.



This includes support for Live Tiles, better inbox organization with folders and Smart Views, contact importing from Facebook, Gmail, Outlook or AOL services, multitasking within the app, a powerful search engine that can seek for in-message content such as images and documents.

20+ themes support for transforming the inbox to your liking, built-in synchronization between Yahoo Mail and Microsoft People, and even re-routing of email traffic from Gmail, Outlook, or second Yahoo account directly to your Yahoo Mail account.

Users should be aware that in previous years yahoo mail was the target of more than one privacy breach, but the technical team behind this service has beefed up its security measures and implemented the strongest encryption and user authentication measures currently available.

Modern Yahoo Mail prides itself on being as fast, easy to use, and secure as any other large webmail platform.



All these features (and many others) make the official Yahoo Mail PC app one of the best ways anyone can interact with their webmail. The app can be downloaded in mere seconds from its official Microsoft Store page.
