Yahoo mail is not working on my phone..it keeps asking for password even after entering its d same

Please help me resolve the above stated problem

Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

  • I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. Keeps asking for password

    I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. It it consistently asking to re-enter the password. Does anyone else have this problem? I have deleted it and reinstalled it several times. It did not do this on my previous macbook.

    Does anyone else have this problem?
    There are several similar reports on this site every day.
    I've never used Yahoo mail and my knowledge of it is second-hand. This is what I've been able to gather.
    If you have a free Yahoo account, POP access to incoming mail from a mail client such as Apple Mail is not supported. A free account is accessible only through IMAP (and then perhaps only on mobile devices — the documentation is unclear) or the web interface.
    As for a paid Yahoo account, or an account through an ISP such as AT&T, you must enable POP access through the web interface. I've seen reports that you must periodically (every two weeks?) log in to the "Manage Account" page on the website to confirm your identity.
    I've also seen reports that eliminating all UPPER CASE letters from the password, and shortening it to no more than 7 characters, may help. That's barely, if at all, adequate for security, and you must be sure to choose the password randomly. It should not be easy to type or remember.
    That said, so many problems with Yahoo mail are reported that I can't recommend using Mail as a client for it. You might get better results with another mail client, such as Thunderbird. If not, just use the webmail interface. That's how it was designed to work. Better yet, don't use Yahoo at all.

  • Mail keeps asking for password when I enter and try to send messages

    When ever I enter 'mail' and then try to send messages it always ask for a password in both instances. I have changed the preferences and added the password and when I save the changes they don't appear as changed

    OK. When you say that Mail doesn’t save the password, are you basing this solely on the fact that Mail keeps asking for it? Or is there something else that makes you believe Mail doesn’t save the password?
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, try removing the password entry from the keychain and let Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.

  • Mail keeps asking for password even though I checked "add password to ..."

    keychain"
    This started happen a few days ago. Every few minutes when it checks my main mail account, the password box pops up. I searched on here, saw recommendation for running Keychain FirstAid. Ran it and it gave me this error message:
    "Repair started
    Checking keychain configuration for user (user ID=501)
    Home directory is /Users/user
    Checked login keychain
    User differs on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.plist, should be 501, owner is 0
    Owner not corrected on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.plist, reason: No such file or directory
    Checked default keychain
    Checked keychain search list
    Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
    Checked contents of /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain
    Warning: some problems were not fixed
    Repair failed"
    How do I fix this problem? l have several mailboxes for different accounts and I have seen this happen occassionally with them as well.

    Of course you only had read access to that file. That’s precisely what I said and why I suggested to do File > Get Info (⌘I) on com.apple.security.plist, to fix that problem by changing the Owner in the Ownership & Permissions > Details section, which was wrong and the cause of the problem...
    Anyway, the file should be re-created when needed, so I wouldn’t worry about that. Actually, opening Keychain Access and running Keychain First Aid again may cause the file to be re-created.
    The thing is, do you still have the problem of Mail repeatedly asking for the password? If Keychain First Aid doesn’t report any problems now, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.
    Note, however, that Mail often doesn’t correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
    Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, for example, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or there may be too many messages on the server and Mail times out before the server responds, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server...
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Try also turning OFF all the network port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
    Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
    You may also want to check with the provider of this account in case they’ve made some changes recently that could have a bearing on this.

  • TS3103 My apple-based e-mail stopping working on May 22-- it keeps asking for passwords -- which are not accepted.  What is going on?  I am on snow leopard 10.6.8-- I can only get e-mail on my phone!!

    I am unable to sign in on e-mail (mobile me OR me.com)-- It just randomly stopped on May 22nd.  Nothing will update from that date.  My password comes up as invalid; I have tried to re-set but it still comes up as invalid.  What is going on???  This is so unlike apple. 

    Your post is pretty lengthy and I have to admit I didn't read it all. Please try restarting in Safe Mode, if that doesn't work please do both a SMC and PRAM reset. These may take 2-3 attempts.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Mail keeps asking for passwords; incoming server in iCloud is dimmed, not available

    Mail on all accounts (iCloud, gmail and comcast) keeps asking for passwords; many Internet sites that used to be filled in from Safari are blank and require password. In Mail accounts, the incoming server for MobileMe/iCloud is dimmed. I can check mail on the Internet but it's kinda handy to have it delivered to the iMac. What's up?

    Got the axect same problem. HELP!!! Using me.com still tho. But I want to use mail again!!!
    UPDATE!!!
    Okay, it is working now. I removed my account in Mail and upgraded to iCloud. Now it is working.

  • My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices,  It attempts to download new email but then stops.  Any ideas?

    My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices,  It attempts to download new email but then stops.  Any ideas?

    I, too, am having a problem with my Yahoo email account on my first generation IPad. I can't download my emails to my IPad from the server. The IPad looks like it's trying to download them but can't do it. I am able to send emails from my IPad with my Yahoo account.
    This problem started yesterday, Aug., 25th, the day after I uploaded the last update from Apple. I am able to set up another email account through Sbcglobal that will download my emails to my IPad but it is not sync'ed with my desktop mail which creates a mess when I move or delete emails.
    I've tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. Also I've reset my IPad and I've done a full restore.
    I think it has something to do with the last update, which I believe was a security update, which may have reset the firewall. That's just a guess.
    Has anyone figures out anything else?

    What do you mean your Yahoo mail isn;t working? If you are talking about it not working in the mail app, remove your account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and add it again. Then follow the instructions here to recover your Apple ID password.

    Hello Duncan,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your Mac.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these solutions.
    Open Keychain Access, then locate and delete the mail account password item.
    Open Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message.

    One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
    iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
    You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
    Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
    The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud. 
    For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

    Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
    *[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If that works post back for further advice.
    Next step, if safe mode did not work.
    <u>First: Try a clean install, <sub>(you have had a none standard version installed previously)</sub></u><br /> that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
    See
    * this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    <u>Second: try a New Profile</u>
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
    * this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
    **[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
    ** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
    ** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
    ** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default
