Sending an email from the Yahoo Mail app on your mobile device is a straightforward process that allows you to connect quickly with others.
How to Send an Email from the Yahoo App
To compose and send a new email using the Yahoo Mail mobile application, follow these simple steps:
-
Launch the App and Sign In:
- First, open the Yahoo Mail app on your smartphone or tablet.
- If you haven't already, sign into your Yahoo account using your email address and password.
-
Tap the Compose Button:
- Once you're in your inbox, look for the Compose button. This is typically represented by a pencil icon or a plus (+) sign and is usually located at the top-right or bottom-right of the screen.
-
Enter Recipient Details:
- A new message window will open. In the "To" field, enter the email address of the person or people you wish to send the email to.
- You can also tap "Cc/Bcc" to add carbon copy or blind carbon copy recipients if needed.
-
Craft Your Message:
- Subject Line: Type a concise and informative subject for your email in the designated field. This helps recipients understand the email's content at a glance.
- Message Body: Write your main message in the large text area provided. You can use formatting options (like bold, italics, or lists) if available within the app to enhance readability.
- Add Attachments: To include files, photos, or documents, tap the attachment icon (often a paperclip). You can then browse your device's files to select what you want to send.
-
Send Your Email:
- After you have completed the subject line, message body, and added any necessary attachments, tap the "Send" button. This button is typically located at the top-right of the window, often represented by a paper airplane icon.
The email will then be sent from your Yahoo Mail account to the specified recipients.

- Check Attachments: Before sending, double-check that you've attached all necessary files.
