PenviaUpdated 8 November 2026
Add Yahoo or AOL
- Sign in to Yahoo Account Security (AOL: AOL Account Security).
- Choose Generate app password, name it “Penvia” and tap Generate.
- In Penvia enter your address and paste the app password.
What you get
- No ads — Penvia shows none and contains no tracking.
- People as chats; newsletters and receipts in Updates; attachments in Files.
- Optional Instant alerts for this account (its Alerts settings): Penvia’s mail-watch service keeps the app password encrypted and watches your Inbox read-only for new mail. Without it, Yahoo is checked in the background, and every time another account’s instant alert wakes Penvia.
Questions
Does Penvia show ads in Yahoo Mail?
No. Penvia has no ads and no tracking.
Are Yahoo alerts instant?
They can be, if you switch on Instant alerts for the account. Yahoo has no push service for third-party apps, so Penvia’s mail-watch service keeps one read-only connection to your Inbox using your app password, stored encrypted; it never reads or stores email, and switching it off deletes the sign-in. Otherwise Penvia checks Yahoo in the background and iOS decides the timing.
