Sync Yahoo calendar with Outlook 2016 and Outlook 2019

Import, Export, and Synchronize Yahoo! Contacts and Calendar with Microsoft Outlook

In 2024, an increasing number of jobs require people to work from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Syncing calendars, contacts, and tasks remotely from home to collaborate with colleagues has become a challenge for those unfamiliar with the process.

Just a few weeks ago, a friend from high school asked me a question: "My colleagues from the States keep bothering me. They want me to import their Yahoo! Address book and appointment information into Outlook 2016, 2019, and 2013 on their laptops because there's too much crucial information to miss out on. Now, I'm stressed because the old Yahoo! Sync method isn't effective anymore. What should I do?" When I heard about this, I suggested an idea to him: Try EVO Collaborator for Outlook! I previously mentioned to you all how amazing this software is for importing contacts and calendars from Gmail and iCloud, right? Just a few days ago, I came across an update history on the EVO Mail Server website about ECO, and now it can perform read/write/delete synchronization tasks on Yahoo! CardDAV and CalDAV! Let's learn how to sync Yahoo contacts and calendars with Outlook:

1. Outlook and Download ECO software from EVO's Official Download
2. Open Outlook and enter ECO’s “Configure Profile(s)”

   

3. Select the third profile from the top at the left-hand side: YAHOO!

   

4. At the right-hand side, enter your complete Yahoo! E-mail address in “Full e-mail address or Username” field

   

5. About the password, we need to pay close attention. Yahoo! now requires any third-party application to use a separate password called “App Password” generated within your Yahoo! account settings. With this App Password, such sync application can then access information within the user account.
6. Please follow Generating App Passwords instruction to create such password and enter this generated password in “Password” field.

   

7. Click on “TEST” below. Once a pop-up box showing “Success” appears, click on “Apply” and then “Quit”
8. At this moment, ECO will initiate an automated addressbook and Calendar synchronization
