Adding att yahoo email acount

When I add an existing att yahoo email account to my iPhone and try to retrieve email I get an error message "cannot send mail - the user name or password for SMTP:[email protected]@smtp.att.yahoo.com is incorrect". I had a test email previously sent from iPhone to an email account already existing on the iPhone.
The username and password work fine on PC. Any thoughts?

If you are interested in " testimonials " look at this thread Re: Since iOS 8.1.2 My Yahoo mail has stopped working, any help please, but don't get too technical
keep in mind that there are actually TWO different problems being discussed there

I used to get photos and pics via ATT/Yahoo email, now they show up in the email as HTML code. What's the fix?

A few weeks ago forwarded messages with pics and other messages with attached photos gave long strings of HTML text code instead of the
I tried sending them to different viewers and got dialog boxes saying the file can't be read.
All of them were from people who had successfully sent email pics before.
My computer shop guy said ATT/Yahoo email changed something and I should use another email service.
What is the fix?
Any help is much appreciated.

My husband has the same phone, we purchased them at the same time. I sent him the same photos in the same email that I downloaded them from and on his phone they show up with the normal higher resolution. Is it possible that there is something wrong with my iPhone or is there a setting that can be changed? I'm still learning to use it. All my other photos are of normal resolution. Does this make any sense to anyone?
Please help!

When adding a yahoo email account I keep getting "Server Unavailable" notification. This started after I updated my software. I deleted my accounts and tried to re-add them but continue to get this notification??

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! as you've rightly mentioned, you're already using the latest version of firefox installed and you can always initiate a check for ''updates in firefox > help > about firefox''.
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

ATT Yahoo Email

When typing in ATT yahoo email, many of the characters are not appearing that were entered. This happens on a regular basis and is very frustrating, so just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. We have shut down the computer and powered off, then rebooted but no diffeerence. This does not happen in MS Office documents, but does happen sometimes during online search data entry. Thanks, Doug

BB only retrieves your Inbox mail, nothing in subfolders. this is y design, and n wireless contact sync either.

Foxf 10; att/yahoo email contacts not linking.

Login in to AT&T Yahoo email. click compose in To: start typing address, and a name and address will appear. After downloading 10 on an other computer Login in to AT&T Yahoo email. click compose in To: start typing no contact names ans addresses pop up. Another computer using Foxf 9 Login in to AT&T Yahoo email. click compose in To: start typing address, and contacts are added no problem.

This is kinda what you need;
I would try to setup a new account
check this>
account type POP
description: pop account
Email address: [email protected]
full name: your name
incoming mail server: pop.att.yahoo.com
User name: (your name)@sbcglobal.net
Password: whatever yours is
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smpt.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
Click on "Server settings" then
Server port 25
authentication: password
user name: your user name
password; your password
This is the current setting for my Mail program.
Att and sbc are one and the same.
Yes it is DSL.
good luck

Mail won't work from att.yahoo email account in Northern California

I am in the S.F. Bay Area and use ATT phone service (and broad band, I think or DSL, I am not sure) and I have a yahoo email address ([email protected]).
To set up Mail I have tried all different combinations for Outgoing Server, something like SMPT:att.yahoo.com or something like that, I can't quite recall. Anyway, it would not send. What am I doing wrong ? I have also tried
smpt: yahoo.com and many other combinations and no luck.
I also have a Mac email address ([email protected]) and that is set for my incoming server. I was told by someone that all I need to do is to set my outgoing server to the phone-server that I have (which is ATT). Hope the question makes sense. I am computer novice. I hope you can reply with an answer that I can understand ! Many thanks .... Dr. Know Not All

Att.yahoo email setup

Anyone been successful setting up att.yahoo.com email? Please email settings if you have. My iphone keeps telling me either my username or password is incorrect, but I don't think it is.
Thanks.
iphone Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Well, I re-entered my password and it works! Must have been my mistake.

I am constantly prompted to verify my password for my ATT (Yahoo) email account in Mail.

Every frew minutes I am prompted to reenter/verify my ATT email account in Mail. This has been working flawlessly until a few weeks ago. I tried deleting and recreating the account with no success.
ATT uses Yahoo to host their email and I use the imap inbound and outbound server settings. I can still receive and send using that account but have to respond to the "enter your password pop-up every few minutes even though the password field is populated.

I am also searching for the "fix" as mine hase been doing the same for about 3-4 months now and this is OLD... there are a lot of people working on this from the "communities forum" but Apple is doing nothing about it so far... I have also searched the Yahoo communities for a "fix" but the trolls just tell everyong to move to Gmail... LOL... so I will hope you(and the rest of us= alot) get an answer in here... If I find the "fix" elsewhere, I will be back to post here...

Why is my att/yahoo email no longer working properly?

[this is my second attempt to post; first effort not allowed as I did not have authorization-??]
I can open any one email, as normal. Links within an email seem to work, when I try them. However:
Once I open an email, I can not delete it or close it.
When I click "ACTIONS" or 'COMPOSE" the pop-up message "LOADING..." never completes, apparently looping.
When I click "COMPOSE", a text msg appears on the bottom of my screen indicating, I think, what the computer is reading:
us-mg205.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.partner=sbc&.rand=cgcse0vj3t121#/minty/page/compose
if I attempt to delete, the same msg appears, minus "minty/page/compose"
When I mouse-over or click the gear wheel (settings) icon it merely spins and does nothing. Same text msg, except instead of "minty/page/compose" it reads "yucs-help_inner".
This situation arose about two days ago on my laptop. The same email works normally with Safari on my Ipad, also on my laptop via Windows Live Mail (which I no longer use but still have the program). Thus this appears to be a Mozilla/Firefox issue?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 23.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Mac mail with att yahoo

I have a macbook pro that I am havng trouble with my ATT yahoo email settings. I can send and receive email from that account on my iPad, iPhone, and mac mini without problems. But on my Macbook I cannot send email with my ATT account. I can send with my mac.com account but my other accounts which use the default att sicne that is my dsl provider will not work.
I have tried several different settings for the inbound, outbound smtp, pop and other settings. I have tried what ATT told me to use but keep getting the error that I cannot send with the outgoing server.
If I try the same settings that are in my ipad etc. it still does not work. I have deleted, quit mail, then restarted it and added the att email account but it still will not work.
Am I missing something?
Does Mail have some creative ways that it uses outgoing servers?
Thanks,
Phil

Here is some more info:
I have found that if I use Outlook I can send just fine. Also If I take my Macbook to another location with a different internet (McDonalds, Starbucks) I can send and receive just fine. It appears the problem is with how mac Mail works with my dsl modem or a setting with AT&T.
I see that others may be having the same problem and are using Thunderbird. I like mac mail and want to keep using it so I am hopeful this can be fixed.

Brand new Galaxy III S - Cannot setup Yahoo email - 80201: Getting Token Failed Error

I got my brand new phone; logged in/set-up account with gmail.
I added my corporate email just fine.
Adding a yahoo email I get the following error: 80201: Getting Token Failed Error
I've tried over wi-fi and on 4G.
Also, it doesn't matter what email and password I put in - same error.
Note: I had a Galaxy S previously with Yahoo email - this isn't the first time I've configured an account.

Same issue cannot create email accounts using the Email app - 80201: Getting Token Failed Error with Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail. Any Verizon support people here? Can you help?

My font size changed in Firefox when trying to read email using yahoo email. I now have to use explorer to read my mail. can you tell me how to return back to the readable size font. thank you

I have been using firefox for years to read my email. recently the size of text became small and hard to read. I would like to get the text size large again, so I don't have to use the other browser. I have a att yahoo email account and subscribe to at&t uverse for internet service.

I tried both of your suggestions and neither one worked. I found the solution by clicking on the "View" button, then "Reset". This put my email back to the original font/text size. Somehow the screen had been Zoomed in, so to change it, follow the instructions above.

Iphone 6 plus wont allow yahoo email to work nor update

I have several email accounts I use with my iphone 6+ and I realized I hadn't been receiving emails from one of the yahoo accounts, I signed in on my imac (and I can on my ipad as well) and I had missed about 10 days of emails. I can send emails from it but cannot receive with it. When I open account it doesn't show any "inbox" or "saved" or past "sent" emails, etc. I've read on this site to delete the account and re-add it. I've done that several times. I've changed the password, I've tried everything I can think of. Also the account shows updated "Nov. 30, 2014" and despite deleting and re-adding the yahoo email account it never shows current, always Nov. 30th? I added a Yahoo App and I can access my Yahoo email via that, but I can't use it on the iphone as the default email. I've checked for the ios update, I am current, I've backed up the iphone on itunes. I've re-booted the iphone, simply put this iphone wont recognize this mail account. Other Yahoo emails continue to work fine on this same iphone, but not my primary email account. HELP!

Try this fix.
-->>you'll need a computer to log in to you yahoo! mail.
-->>after logging in with you username and password (computer) on the top right you'll see "Hello (your name)" CLICK ON IT
-->>on the left panel you'll see "account security" CLICK ON IT
-->>check iF you have "Two-step verification Additional security." TURNED ON
HERE'S THE PART TO FIX:
if you switch it OFF you can set up your yahoo mail on apple device with no prob.
if you switch it ON yahoo will generate a ONE TIME PASSWORD for your device set up. (this adds additional security to your phone)
*I highly recommend you do the ON option
to set it ON:
-->> switch the ON for Two-step verification/
-->>have a nickname for your device ex "mike iphone5"
-->>click "generate password"
-->>a long password of random letters will pop (this password will be the password when you set up your email on your ios device)
*it is to be used one time only.
-->>go to your device set email as usual.. then for the password use the long password yahoo provided.
THAT'S IT! HOPE IT HELP!
!!!! DON'T FORGET TO CLICK THE START I THIS HELPED YOU TO HELP OTHER USERS TOO.
