Email migration
Migrate your email from Yahoo Mail
Yahoo Mail and AOL need a dedicated password for outside apps. We’ll point you to where to create it, then copy every folder to the new mailbox.
Server settings
You don’t have to type these in — we work them out from your email address. They’re here for transparency, or in case your provider uses different values.
| IMAP server | Port | Security |
|---|---|---|

AOLimap.aol.com | 993 | SSL/TLS |
Username: your full email address

Good to know before you start
Create an app password in your Yahoo (or AOL) account security settings and use it instead of your usual password. There’s no need to turn on IMAP — it’s already on.
Folders you created are copied with the same names; Sent, Drafts and Trash are matched to those in your new mailbox.
Yahoo can slow down very heavy access, so large mailboxes may take a few hours — but the copy resumes on its own, with no duplicates.
How it works
Enter your Yahoo Mail address and password: we recognise the server and count your emails.
Tell us your new mailbox: we check we can sign in before asking for any payment.
Pay once and watch the copy live. Your Yahoo Mail mailbox stays exactly as it is.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I create a Yahoo app password?
In your Yahoo account security settings, under the option to generate an app password. We show you the direct link during the process.
Does it work with AOL addresses?
Yes: AOL uses the same system as Yahoo, with its own server and an app password.
