Introduction

Connecting your Yandex Mail account to Zeninbox allows you to access and manage your Yandex emails directly within Zeninbox, along with your other email accounts. This integration simplifies email management by providing a single interface for all your messages. Follow this guide to set up your Yandex Mail with Zeninbox.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

  • An active Yandex Mail account.

  • App Password: Yandex Mail requires an app-specific password for third-party email clients. Generate this from your Yandex account security settings if two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled.

  • IMAP access enabled in your Yandex Mail settings.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Generate an App Password (If 2FA is Enabled)

  1. Go to your Yandex account settings.

  2. Navigate to the Account Security section.

  3. Under App Passwords, select Generate new password for Zeninbox.

  4. Copy this password, as it will be used instead of your regular Yandex password in Zeninbox.

Step 2: Enable IMAP Access in Yandex

  1. In your Yandex Mail account, go to Settings > Email Programs.

  2. Enable IMAP to allow Zeninbox to access your Yandex emails.

Step 3: Open Mailbox Management in Zeninbox

  1. Log in to Zeninbox.

  2. Click on the Mailboxes icon in the left sidebar to open the Mailbox Management page.

Step 4: Start Adding a New Mailbox

  2. Choose Add manually from the options provided.

Step 5: Select IMAP/SMTP for Yandex

  1. On the Add New Mailbox screen, select the IMAP/SMTP option to manually configure Yandex Mail.

Step 6: Enter Yandex Mailbox Details

  1. Fill in the following details to connect your Yandex Mail account:

    • User Name: Enter your full Yandex email address (e.g., yourname@yandex.ru).

    • Password: Use the app-specific password if 2FA is enabled, or your regular Yandex password if not.

    • IMAP Host: Enter `imap.yandex.ru`.

    • IMAP Port: Use port 993.

Step 7: Configure SMTP for Yandex

If you plan to send emails via Yandex from Zeninbox, configure the SMTP settings:

  1. SMTP Host: Enter `smtp.yandex.com`.

  2. SMTP Port: Use port 465 (for SSL) or 587 (for TLS).

  3. Click Next to proceed.

Step 8: Add a Signature

  1. Zeninbox allows you to add a custom signature for each mailbox.

  2. If desired, enter the signature name and message here.

Step 9: Complete the Setup

  1. Click Add to complete the configuration.

  2. Go back to the Mailboxes overview to verify that your Yandex Mail account is connected and shows as Active with a green status indicator.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Password: Ensure you’re using the app-specific password if 2FA is enabled on your Yandex account.

  • Connection Errors: Double-check the IMAP and SMTP host and port details to ensure they’re correct.

Conclusion

Your Yandex Mail account should now be successfully connected to Zeninbox, allowing you to manage it alongside your other accounts. For further help or advanced configuration options, check the Zeninbox Help Center or contact Zeninbox support.
