Add a Yahoo, AOL, Fastmail, Zoho or GMX account

Email accounts

Newton has built-in server settings for Yahoo, AOL, Fastmail, Zoho and GMX, so you only enter your email address and password. Yahoo, AOL and Fastmail need an app password instead of your normal password.

Steps

Before you start:

Desktop

  1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner and choose Add Account.
  2. For Yahoo, choose Yahoo!. For AOL, Fastmail, Zoho or GMX, choose IMAP (other), then pick your provider from the Provider menu.
  3. Enter your Email address and Password. Use the app password for Yahoo, AOL and Fastmail.
  4. Click Test connection. When it says Connected, click Connect.

iPhone, iPad & Android

  1. Open the menu and tap the Settings gear at the bottom.
  2. Tap Accounts › Add account › IMAP (iCloud, Yahoo…).
  3. Tap your provider: Yahoo Mail, AOL Mail, Fastmail, Zoho Mail or GMX.
  4. Enter your Email and Password. Use the app password for Yahoo, AOL and Fastmail.
  5. Tap Add account.

Setting up Newton for the first time? Only Yahoo has its own tile. For the others, tap IMAP and type the incoming server from the table below. Newton fills in the outgoing server for you.

Good to know

  • These are the settings Newton fills in, in case you need to check them:
ProviderIncoming (IMAP)Outgoing (SMTP)
Yahooimap.mail.yahoo.com · 993 · SSL/TLSsmtp.mail.yahoo.com · 465 · SSL/TLS
AOLimap.aol.com · 993 · SSL/TLSsmtp.aol.com · 465 · SSL/TLS

  • If you use two-factor authentication with Zoho, Zoho may ask for an application-specific password instead of your normal one.
  • Newton stores the password encrypted on its servers, so your other devices can connect without asking for it again.
  • In the mobile app, the Free plan includes two accounts. Adding a third there needs Newton Pro.
