IOS 8.1.1 iPhone mail app not working with Yahoo

Since upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.1 I have been unable to access my (UK) Yahoo mail account. Following advice from other posters I have tried deleting the account, doing a hard reset and then adding the account again. Also tried different settings for Push and Fetch but all to no avail. I have an iPad2 that I have also upgraded to 8.1.1 and I can access my mail ok on this although I have noticed that one of my mail folders is showing empty despite it containing many emails when I access it directly via Yahoo mail on my Windows laptop. To get round the problem on my phone I have resorted to downloading the Yahoo! Mail app and this works 100% ok. Can anyone please throw some light on this? Thanks

Hi, Big Alma.  
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need more information regarding what issue you are exactly experiencing with Yahoo and your iOS device to provide a better answer.  However, here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

    Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
    It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
    I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
    What do I do?
    iPad 2 latest OS.

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.

    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • Mail app not working with Yahoo account

    I am using an iPhone 6 plus on iOS 8.1 and suddenly my Yahoo email account will not populate to my Mail app. I have deleted and re-added the account and also re-booted the phone with no luck. I get the spinning wheel up by my Wi-Fi signal that suggests it's attempting to do something, but the bottom of the Inbox only says "Updated Yesterday." Has anyone else experienced this or can someone, especially an Apple employee, tell me how to fix this?

    There is no Apple in this user to user technical forum, if you want an Apple employee you would need to take your phone to the Apple store.
    What happens when you switch to using cellular data?  Does your email update?
    FYI - Yahoo email account is notoriously bad, you can try their app.

  • Mail App Not Working with Self-Signed Certificates

    First and foremost, I apologise for starting another thread that is 90% similar to others but I wanted to avoid falling into an existing context.  Like may others, I am having issues with the Mail App in Mavericks but I have an email account other than G-Mail.
    That being said, here is the issue I am having.  Until recently I never had an issue sending and receiving email from various accounted.  My Internet provider, an Exchange account, even a G-Mail account.
    Yesterday, my Web hosting provider issued a new (self-signed) certificate as the old one had expired (which was also a self-signed certificate).  While I am able to still receive messages, I am no longer able to send any.
    I have tried numberous possible solutions to no avail.  I have removed and readded my email account, I have refreshed my SMTP settings, I have removed all semblence of the account from my Key Chain, added the Certificate manually with full trust, and I have even flushed the caches from my ~/Library/ folder.  The last one perked up the Mail App but did not restore my ability to send messages from my Web provider's SMTP server.
    I suspect this is a bug in the Mail App but I'm hoping I can find a few last solutions before I file a bug report.
    In the meantime, I am using another outgoing server from my Internet provider.  It will do but for consistency I'd much rather use the outgoing server that came with the email account in question.
    I am all but convinced it is the Mail App as Thunderbird is able to use the SMTP server just fine and I am still able to send messages using the exact same settings on my iPhone and iPad.
    In case it helps, I am using a Early 2011 MacBook Pro with the latest Mavericks update (which ironically was meant to solve some issues other users had with the Mail App).
    On a related note, I wish I had stayed on Snow Leopard.  I did not have a single issue with that OS.  Now I feel like I am working on Windows Vista again and I am waiting for the Apple version of Windows 7 to set things right.

  • IPHONE Watchlist app not working with VCenter6 console

    When are they going to update the IPHONE version of watchlist? The console no longer works with VCenter6, but the Android version does.

    sorry for not replying earlier but you are right this is supported on android and not yet on iOS.
    but unfortunately, we don't have the resources currently to do any upgrades to iOS. as soon as we do,
    this is the first thing we will address.
    thanks for your interest, hopefully you can still use watchlist for its other features (we are watching the list :-)

    Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to is capable of unlocking it.  You'll have to ask them if they will unlock it.  Some will, some won't.

  • Apps not working with docomo after updating new sw...

    hello brother,
    i have updated my nokia c2-00 sw v3.99 .
    After updating new sw v.3.99 my apps not working with tata docomo only .
    Docomo is my personal sim-card.
    What can do for get ride it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello, Premkoli. Which specific apps are you referring to? Are these apps downloaded from the Store, or preloaded ones? When you say 'my apps not working with tata docomo only', does it mean that these apps work with other SIM cards aside from TaTa Docomo? How did you update your Nokia C2-00? Is it by going to Settings > Phone > Device Updates > Check for updates, or via Nokia Suite?
    Since the issue started after the software update, you can try to reinstall the phone's SW via Nokia Suite. Just download it on your PC, and then connect the phone via a compatible USB cable. After that, launch Nokia Suite, and the go to SW Updates > Device Software Updates > Reinstall current SW. After that, try opening the same apps and see if they'll work with your Docomo SIM card. Get Nokia Suite from this link: Nokia Suite
    Let us know the outcome.

  • Maverick's Mail does not work with Gmail ! it works better with iOS 7

    For info.
    I do know how it's complex to program and more for an OS System.
    Maverick's Mail DOES NOT work proprely with Gmail boxes ? Gmail incoming or outcoming messages are correctly notified on my iPhone 5s with iOS 7. But not on my Macbook Pro retina (end 2012) with Mavericks. One update was suppose to solve the trouble.
    Hope you'll solve the problem as soon as possible. Bur not during the nights. But during your daytimes' work !
    Wish you nice end of year's days.
    And please get my best wishes for 2014. Hope you'll get a lot of these nice little moments of happiness.
    Best regards.

    Have you checked your incoming and outgoing mail server settings?
    If you are using IMAP, it should look something like the following:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    imap.gmail.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL:Yes
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
    smtp.gmail.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Use same settings as incoming mail server
    If you are using POP3, it should look something like the following:
    Incoming mail server type: POP3
    Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server: pop.gmail.com. Google Apps users, enter the server name provided, don't add your domain name in these steps.
              Port: 995
    Outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) name: smtp.gmail.com
         Port: 465
    Outgoing server requires authentication: enabled
