Adding Yahoo Email account

Hello All,
I have a problem with my iPad and iphone 4 when adding a new email account for yahoo. I tried adding my existing account to my iphone and ipad with no luck I receive a message *(Yahoo! Server Unavailable, Please try again later)* on both units, the funny thing is my email account works fine on the internet. I tried resetting network settings, rebooting the phone and I even called tech support but no go... Has anyone came accross this issue before? I really need some help here.. Would be appreciated.
Both units are up to date on firmware versions
Thanks Andy

Close the mail app on the iphone and go to a computer, sign in to your yahoo mail account and do the verification that it pops up. If there is no such thing that pops up then go back to your iphone and do the following:
1.) Delete the yahoo mail account on your iphone.
2.) Add mail account using "other" instead of "Yahoo!" and setup as IMAP account.
3.) Use the following information:
- username MUST include @yahoo.com at the end
- incoming server = imap.mail.yahoo.com
- outgoing server = smtp.mail.yahoo.com
- always retype your password
Tell me if this solution works or doesn't work. It worked on my girlfriend's iphone4 after 16 hours of reading online and messing with it and a lot of restoring.

    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.

  • TS3899 Yahoo email account showing "phantom" unread messages

    I set up a "new to me" iphone 4 today and added a yahoo email account.  I cleaned the inbox, trash, and spam folders out before setting up account on phone.  Mail icon is showing 39 unread messages in that account and they are not showing in the inbox on the phone for me to clear out.

    Mail -> Edit in upper right hand corner -> Mark All as read in lower left hand corner. This will clear the unread email number for the mail app.

  • How do I go back a page on the Ipad mini? I do not see any arrows anywhere. Also when I go to my yahoo email account and open an email I can not find how to go back and log out. This is our first Ipad and it is very different frm android. Thanks

    We just purchased our first Ipad. It is a mini with retina display 16 GB. How do I go back a page? I see no arrows to page back. Also when I log into  a yahoo email account and open an email I see now way to log out? Thank you for any help

    In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
    In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
    As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email.  If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out.     The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
    If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.

  • IPhone 5 no longer receive emails, but can still send emails with yahoo email account. Any ideas to fix?

    iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2 stopped receiving mail yesterday. Have yahoo email account. Can still send emails. Have turned device off/on. Have done the dual off/on thing using top button and menu button.   Issue seems to be only with main inbox, as sub folders are receiving mail. Other Apple device is not having issues like this, just on iPhone.

    Your issue is with the Yahoo email account which is notoriously bad.
    you can try deleting and reinstalling the email account.
    If that doesn't fix it try the yahoo email app.

  • I'm unable to access my yahoo email account using updated firefox browser, i keep getting error page when I use the mail link on yahoo pages

    Since updating Firefox browser, i am unable to gain access to my yahoo email account. I can access the email with Interent Explorer with no trouble. Whenever I click on a mail link on the yahoo sites to check my mail, I get rerouted to an error page ..... "Sorry, we can't find "ca.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1". Please check the spelling of the web address." is what is said at top of page whenever I click on any mail links.

    This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
    You will have to access  "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
    Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password.  instead of the yahoo account password.

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • I had connected my yahoo email account with my apple email and now wish to disconnect this link. How do I do this?

    Open Mail preferences and delete the account. This only removes it from the Mail app and doesn't close out the service.

  • Should my "Contacts" be "On" or "Off" for my Yahoo email account?

    I lost all of my Contacts in my COMPUTER for my Yahoo email account; I then looked through my iPhone to see what my email settings showed and it showed my Contacts were turned "Off". I turned them 'On" and now I'm getting ominous messages about turning it back "Off" again. (I don't know what I'm doing and should never have turned them "ON" without knowing what I was doing.)
    Does anyone know if I can get my iPhone email contacts back onto my computer? And Should my iPhone be "On" or "OFF" for my Contacts in my Yahoo email settings??  Help!

    You only turn that off if you have very sensitive operations and data that cannot be corrupted by power loss or serious loss incurs. Mainly server operations and database files.

  • Problems with my yahoo email account using Firefox

    I am using Firefox 14.0.1 and I have problems with my yahoo email account. I send an email, the receiver got a good version of my email, but when I see the same email into my sent box I see a differente text. When I use any other Internet browser, I can see a good version of my original email into the sent box.

  • Multiple yahoo email accounts

    I would like to set up two yahoo email accounts on my ipad2 so my husband and I can both check our email easily when we're travelling.  Once I get it set up, how do I switch between the two accounts?  Thanks, this has been driving me crazy.

    Tap the account id 'button' at the top left of your list of emails to go to list of the folders in that account, and then tap the Mailboxes button top left of that to go to the list of email accounts that you've set up - then just tap the account name that you want to switch into and then Inbox (or just the account id under the Inboxes section on that screen to go straight to the Inbox)
