In this article, we show you how to create a new Yahoo Mail account. Yahoo Mail New Account Steps
The best way to make a new Yahoo account is through the desktop website: Visit the Yahoo Sign up page. Fill out the form with your first and last name, the username you want to use for your new Yahoo email address, a password, your phone number, birthdate, and optionally your gender. Make a strong password to help deter someone from guessing it. If it's too hard for you to remember, store it in a password manager. Your phone number is used for account recovery. Get a virtual phone number if you don't want to use your real one. Click Continue. Choose either Text me an Account Key or Call me with a verification code to confirm that you own the phone associated with that phone number. Enter the key to verify that you have access to that phone, and then select Verify. Select Continue. You'll be redirected to the Yahoo homepage. To access Yahoo Mail, select Mail (located in the upper-right corner of the page), or go to mail.yahoo.com. How to Send Mail From Yahoo Mail

If someone sent you an email in Yahoo Mail, click the message and use the arrows at the top of the email to reply, reply all, or forward it. How to Get Yahoo Mail on Your Phone
Yahoo Mail doesn't only work from a laptop or desktop. You can read your Yahoo emails from a mobile device, whether it's a tablet or phone. Download specific apps to receive emails or use the stock email app on your device. For example, iPhone users can connect to Yahoo Mail from the Mail app without having to download another app. The same is true for Android users who set up the proper Yahoo Mail IMAP and SMTP server settings. However, there's also a Yahoo Mail app that lets you log in with your Yahoo username and password without entering any server settings.
