Cannot get mail via Yahoo

I use Yahoo mail on my iPad and since yesterday I keep getting this error message:
"Cannot Get Mail. No password provided for (my account). Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password." I have entered the password. It shows up on the Mail Account settings as saved. I re-enter the password to no effect. I've deleted the mail account and created it again, still does not work. I only have the one mail account on the iPad. I am able to surf using Safari. When I try to send e-mail, I get this message: "Cannot Send Mail. The user name or password for (my account) is incorrect." Can anybody help please?

This happens in hotmail, too....if this ever happens to you folks again, go to
Mail, Contacts, Calendars>click on the account that is not working>scroll down to "outgoing mail server">click on the top "Primary server">re-input your password until it is verified>click "done" at the top
Should work just fine!!!!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again.

Cannot get mail via IMAP after security update 2015-002

Since installing security update 2015-002 I cannot now receive emails via IMAP on my MacBook air running Yosemite. I am told that the username or password is incorrect, but I have not changed these. The mail server is working fine and I can receive via my iPAD. I can also send from my MacBook - just receiving that fails.
Has anyone else had a problem?
Thanks Julia

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.

My iPad just recently started a message saying"cannot get mail" the connection to server failed. It won't bring up my yahoo mail.....how do I fix??

Other users have been reporting Yahoo mail problems that are not iPad problems. Might be something to try on these links.

"Cannot Get Mail" When Checking Mail on Yahoo Account after 1.1.2 update

I recently updated iPhone to 1.1.2 and now cannot get yahoo email. 1.1.1 worked fine. When I attempted to check for e-mail on iPhone it returns error "Cannot get mail: The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect." I have checked my username and password and I am positive that it is correct. I just logged onto the yahoo mail website with the same username and password that I entered into my iPhone. BTW, I have only alphas for a password and I also tried updating my password online and then modifying the iPhone to match. It authenicates the password when updating the account but will receives the same error above when attempting to update e-mail. I just have the standard yahoo account which shouldn't matter because it is the one that i used on 1.1.1. I have tried everything i can think of and just cant seem to get it to work so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Thanks

I have a new iPhone with 1.1.2 and have this same problem. My Yahoo mail is set up correctly, and I can send mail from the mail client, which shows up when I check my 'sent' folder on yahoo using the browser interface from my computer.
I can't check mail - I get the "The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect. Since I can send email from the iphone, and then see what I sent on both my work email and in my 'sent' folder, it's not a user or pw setup problem.
I tried turning it off and on and that didn't do it. I have a free yahoo account, so I believe I have to use the Y! option.

Yahoo Mail - Unable to delete and Cannot Get Mail errors

A few days ago my Yahoo mail started acting up.
I keep on getting "Unable to move message" errors when trying to delete mail. The proper folder is selected as the trash folder under settings. Sometimes message do delete however, but mostly they do not.
I am also getting periodic Cannot Get Mail errors, but mostly I am able to receive mail.
This leads me to believe that this might be a yahoo issue (I opened a support request with them also) I have deleted the account from my iPhone and recreated it several times, but the problem persist.
Anybody else having similar issues with Yahoo mail ?
Thanks
PS I have Yahoo Mail Plus with POP access

I opened a ticket with Yahoo, a day later they came back and advised that they made some changes to my account, but it still does not work.
There is something strange about how Apple and Yahoo communicates, I think there is some exchange in the middle that is causing the problems. The reason for me saying this is the error I got periodically stating that "Cannot Get Mail, The user name or password for imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect". Why imap.APPLE.mail.yahoo.com ???
I did however setup a "Other" mail type account using the POP and SMTP settings from Yahoo and it works like a charm now, no more problems and I can now even use a different reply to e-mail address. Only issue might be that you no longer have the Yahoo side custom mail folders on the iPhone, but this is no big deal for me.
For the incoming server I used pop.mail.yahoo.com with my Yahoo username and password (username without @yahoo.com)
For outgoing, SMTP, Hostname I used smtp.mail.yahoo.com with my Yahoo username and password (username without @yahoo.com), SSL = ON, authentication = Password and server port 465
Under advanced settings for outgoing mail server, Use SSL = ON , authentication = Password and server port 995.
I am not claiming that I understand all of the above, but it works. Hopefully this may point you in the right direction.

Anyone getting message "cannot get mail" on iphone using yahoo?

Couple of days back when I tried to log into my yahoo.com mail account, I received a full screen message that yahoo.com thought my password was compromised and requested I supply a new one. I didn't look at the url to see if it was from yahoo.com or trustworthy (darn it!). I decided not to change my password and was allowed to go on to yahoo.com mail. Then later when I tried to check my yahoo.com email from my iphone4, I got this message that "cannot get mail" and my password must be incorrect. I went back to the yahoo.com mail on my Macbook and, after getting the same warning message as before, I did enter a new password. Then tried to get into yahoo email on the iphone4 and succeeded. The next day, I tried to get into yahoo email from the iphone4 and I got the darn "cannot get mail" message on the iphone4. I've tried deleting the yahoo mail account on the iphone4 and reinstalling it, but no luck. Still get same message! Anyone know what to do?

Thanks
So how can I fix my iPhone Yahoo email?

Cannot get mail, server unavailable error message n my Yahoo account only, but not on others

Although I have no problem getting hotmail and other yahoo account messages, my PRIMARY email account has been returning an error message "Cannot get mail, server unavailable". But my server is working just fine for everything else except my main yahoo account. Could anyone shed some light on this for me? Thank you all!!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Yahoo Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed

iPhone 4s with latest version of iOS.
A few days ago my Yahoo Mail stopped connecting, and I started seeing the above noted error message (Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed.) While it won't retrieve messages, it will let me send. So at least SMTP seems to be working OK.
I've tried deleting it and adding it back, but to no avail. I've rebooted the phone. I've and any combination of options found on these boards. Yet, the problem persists. Anyone experience something like this before? If so, any fix for it?

I contacted Yahoo. Gave them all the information. They acknowledged that they are having an issue and that they are working to resolve it.
One temporary measure that does work with the Mail App. Add the Yahoo account manually. In other words, click on Other (at the bottom of the list) instead of Yahoo when adding your account, and use these settings.

Cannot Get Mail - Yahoo

Has anyone else run into this lately? All was working fine until Oct. 8th and since then I haven't been able to get mail from Yahoo.
Keep getting the Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed message. I can send messages no problem. Have tried turning the account off then back on to no avail.

Hello Allan, and others,
I am running into the same problem since yesterday, your solution did not help in my case. I will start a new thread with my problem because this one already shows "solved".
thank you

"Cannot Get Mail" message

I am using an iPhone5 and keep getting a message that says cannot get mail as username or password are incorrect. They're not!have tried deleting and reinstalling but this doesn't work either. Have also reset phone no luck!I am receiving my Sky emails on both my iPad and MacBook so can't understand why phone won't work?Any help would be appreciated...thank you!

Having the same issue as well. Says my password is incorrect. Have tried accessing the sky email via their website, but it won't let me progress past the confirmation of details screen, where I have to agree to the terms and conditions.. Just returns to the sky help page. this is becoming a serious issue as I cannot access any of my emails . Have also deleted the account on iPad and tried with a yahoo account, but still no joy. Anyone found a fix for this yet?

I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail. When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open. How do I fix this problem?

I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail. I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK. I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open. Need help on how to fix this problem. I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.
I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

TS3899 Cannot Get Mail The mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in mail settings. What can I do?

When I try to access Mail I get the following message "Cannot Get Mail. The mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail Settings". I have entered the correct account details and even deleted them and re-entered them but to no avail, Help.

Try deleting the email account and readding it in the "other" tab instead of Yahoo/gmail, etc
