Here you need to check the box opposite the field “imap.yandex.ru” to allow access to the mailbox from email clients. Save the changes by clicking the appropriate button.
Client installation and configuration

Right in the workspace of the program, select the item "Email". Below we click on the button “Skip ...". In the settings window that opens, enter the last name, first name, name of the mailbox and password for it, click Next. Then you need to click on the “Install manually” button. Here you need to change two fields. The first of these is the Inbox. Here we set “IMAP” in the drop-down list and enter “imap.yandex.ru” next to it. Then the outgoing Yandex mail is configured. To do this, select "SMTP" in the next line and enter "smtp.yandex.ru".
You also need to install encryption to protect against hacking. To do this, set the “SSL” parameter in both lines to “SSL / TLS”. After that we click "Test". After the connection is established, the “Finish” button will become active. If this does not happen, then close the window and start again with a click on the "Email" item. Click on this button and go to the main work area. Here in the upper left corner we click on “Get”. The program will automatically download letters.
