Business email was previously available with the Yahoo! Small Business brand, before it transitioned to [[Verizon Communications|Verizon]] Small Business Essentials in early 2022.

Users are able to access and manage their mailboxes using [[webmail|webmail interface]], accessible using a standard [[web browser]]. Some accounts also supported the use of standard mail protocols ([[Post Office Protocol|POP3]] and [[Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]]). Since 2015, users can also connect non-Yahoo e-mail accounts to the webmail client.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/yahoo-mail-now-manages-your-entire-gmail-account-too-1747492137|title=Yahoo Mail Now Manages Your Entire Gmail Account Too|last=Condliffe |first=Jamie |website=[[Gizmodo]] |date=December 11, 2015 |access-date=April 14, 2018}}</ref>

New Yahoo! Mail accounts, and most of the service's accounts, use <code>yahoo.com</code> and <code>myyahoo.com</code> as the email suffix. Previously, users could choose <code>ymail.com</code> or <code>[[RocketMail|rocketmail.com]]</code> as a suffix,<ref>{{cite web |date=June 19, 2008 |title=Yahoo offers new ymail, rocketmail accounts |url=https://www.cbc.ca/1.708826 |access-date=March 27, 2022 |website=[[CBC News]]}}</ref> or one of several country-specific suffixes. Many countries were available, such as <code>yahoo.co.uk</code> in the United Kingdom, <code>yahoo.fr</code> in France (also used by francophones) and <code>yahoo.it</code> in Italy. While these suffixes are discontinued for new accounts, they are preserved for existing accounts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Identify your domain extension in Yahoo Mail &#124; Yahoo Help - SLN2153 |url=https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2153.html?redirect=true |website=Yahoo Help}}</ref> [[Yahoo!
