Cannot access yahoo email

Today on my iPhone I'm getting the error message "The user name and password for "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect.
I've tried all the tips recommended by various well meaning folks:
1. rebooting (many times)
2. changing my yahoo password - doesn't contain any special characters
3. verifying access via a browser (used the new Chrome one!)
4. adding another choice for SMTP server (smtp.mail.yahoo.com) - a tip from 2008!
5. added my gmail account - it works fine
I'm out of ideas. This is a problem with the device communicating with Yahoo's mail servers, which are evidently functioning as expected. Is it time to visit a genius bar?? Don't really want to access email via the browser (like driving on one of those temporary spares).
Thanks!

Had the same problem starting yesterday. Tried all the previously postedsolutions to no avail. Then did the following which seems to have worked:
Delete yahoo mail account from settings
Delete browser history on safari and chrome and any other browser you may have
Reboot
Set up yahoo account from settings
Here is where this gets weird... My iphone accepted my yahoo account with no problems and i began receiving mail, but my ipad gave the same password error message. I still saved my account, then checked mail and it started to arrive. May be worth a try.

Cannot access yahoo email account when I have been able for 6 years.

I am unable to log into my yahoo email account on my Mac OS X. This is very sudden. I have been able to for 6 years. I CAN access on a PC. I have never had this problem. I have never set up the mail program on Mac OS X.

No, it will not affect anything but Safari. I do this regularly anyway (in my case with Firefox because I prefer it over Safari). The cache remembers websites you've visited and, when internet connections were slow, then that was handy because the browser would reload the page from memory instead of reloading it fresh. With faster internet connections today, it is no longer of the same importance - it does speed up things a bit initially, but I haven't noticed any difference. Cookies are set by every site you visit - the only ones you might want to keep are cookies from your bank, financial institution, etc so they remember your machine when you log in. Other than that, they are a marketing tool and completely superfluous. And history is again something the computer remembers that you've visited a site before.

Cannot access yahoo email account

although I can open my yahoo account, when I click on mail, on this computer, it seems to be in a permanent loop - login.yahoo...., flashing in the address page., and it never stops. I can access my email through Internet Explorer and another PC but not this one.
And when I try to bookmark the page (that is continually changing or at least seems to be) here is what is says: https://login.yahoo.com/config/mail?.intl=us&.done=http%3A%2F%2Fus.mg4.mail.yahoo.com%2Fdc%2Flaunch%3F.gx%3D0%26.rand%3Ddi7d7m2rvo3fr

No, I'm using classic. When I sign in it show that I have 2 accounts on the left side. It always works with my original account, but when I try to access the other account that I added with my website that I have with yahoo it does nothing. I never had to sign out and sign into the other account before, I would just click from one account to the next. I also get an error message all the time that says that I have been signed out of chat because I signed in on another system, but I am not? I do wish to continue using yahoo mail. I just hope to get this resolved so I can use my mac which I love. Thanks.

Cannot access yahoo email on firefox. have to use internet explorer. ugh.

after i sign into yahoo email i get an error page that tells me it cannot be found. same for my business email.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
''or''
right-click the page, choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Carefully remove the site's cookies individually, do NOT click remove "all" unless you really want to remove all your cookies (there is no undo for this dialog).
Does that help?

Cannot Access Yahoo Email Sub Account

This has been going on since 11/21/14 and Verizon tech people have not been able to resolve for me. They keep telling me an issue with the yahoo portal. This is such a dissapointment. You conduct your business alot these days on your phone through email. How good is it if its not working. This is occurring on a sub-account only. We are told this is affecting over 5,500 Verizon customers. Why isn't this resolved yet?? We use to be able to get our emails on our Smart phone and now are unable to,cant access emails on Ipod either. I call Verizon every few weeks to see if there's been a resolution and I'm told in two weeks, call again, give us another week. Very dissapointed customer....

Cannot access yahoo email since Yesterday

Something happened yesterday where I suddenly lost the Yahoo server. Cannot retrieve email on the iPad mail icon. I can still retrieve gmail and iCloud accounts. What happened?

maybe problems with yahoo mail imap / pop3 server?

Cannot access yahoo email, but can sign in and get to account or profile

After I sign in and click read mail box it just keeps reading. I found an error message that says: Warning: Error in parsing value for 'background-image'. Declaration dropped.

I resolved my problem: Went to browser Tools - Options, clicked on Exceptions for cookies and changed from blocked to allow for: us.mg4.mail.yahoo.com. Don't know how the heck it ended up blocked but removed from the blocked list. Should be able to just remove or you can enter the site address, but make sure you check Allow before saving or clicking to close out of the options box.

Is anyone getting this message when trying to access Yahoo Email? "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed?"

Is anyone getting this message when trying to access Yahoo Email? "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed?"

I have Yahoo mail (POP) account. Mine is working fine at present. I do occasionally get asked for password while sending mail. I have had your issue in the past and it usually clears up in a few hours. Sometimes I sign out and then back in and it starts working again.

Cannot access my emails on ipad3?

Just returned from a trip. Ipad working ok before and during trip. I now cannot access my emails on my Yahoo account. When i click on Inbox, or any of the folders it tells me how many emails there are, including number unread, but does not list them, therefore i cannot open anything. i am able to access the emails on my laptop.
So far I have tried deleting email account and setting it up again. Have also tried force quitting the mail app. Have also reset ipad. No idea what to try next.

I have exactly the same problem
yahoo has stopped working on my wife's ipad (my iPad runs smoothly)
The same problem in the Mac. My yahoo account works fine and the other has stopped working
(Yahoo web mail runs whithout problems)
I searched the solution for hours without success...
I deleted the account and re-add
I deleted the messages, if anyone interfered
I've checked the password
I copied the parameters of the account that works
..,. It is as if the mail program could not sync with yahoo...
Greetings and thanks

TS3276 Cannot receive Yahoo emails, despite putting in correct password

Suddenly, iMac won't accept my password for Yahoo emails. I therefore cannot access my emails on my iMac. Why? I can access them on my iPad and iPhone however. Why is this happening? Have put in my password, but it won't accept it.

Go to settings.....iCloud....account([email protected])......advanced mail([email protected])......iCloud account information.....name: change this to your me.com email address([email protected]). Therefore, name AND greyed out "email" are identical.
I've had the same email and push failure since MobileMe to iCloud migration. Their migration process auto settings do not keep connection with their push server if connected at all.
Try this.........because Apple ain't doing anything to help us. Just the royal runaround.

Nokia icon and cannot access outlook email

I have a nokia icon and cannot access outlook email through verizon cellular service but can access when connected to wi fi. I purchased the phone on June 15, 2014 and it worked fine until yesterday evening, July 29th when the verizon cellular stopped syncing with outlook on company server.

Sometimes Windows Phone gets stuck in getting data via WiFi when there is no WiFi and won't switch back to data.
I used to have that problem in 8.0 with 8.1 it went away. Don't forget to mark your question answered

How do I solve MFMessagerdomain 1032 when trying to access yahoo email account

how do I remove MFMessagerdomain 1032 when trying to access yahoo email account I put in password (correct) and still comes up with message

No. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. I hadn't changed any settings or switched either one off. When the phone stopped working properly I ignored it because I always have my ipad with me but that just sopped working properly and now I am stuffed. I have tried most solutions suggested on here even wiping the ipad clean and re-booting. I did this exactly the same way as when I first got it but still no joy. The same with the phone.

I cannot access my emails through Firefox after having system changed from Mac to PC. I have reset the password but no luck. I get 'reason=failure'. I cannot access from other computers either.

I cannot access my emails from any work computer despite resetting password (original password unknown as before my time and had been 'remembered' in system so was always there).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Logging on after work done to change systems. IT person now gone.
