Cannot get yahoo mail - "the connection to the server failed"

For the last 3 days my yahoo mail account hasn't been receiving new mail on my iPad - and won't let me send. However I am getting Facebook updates on my iPad, and can get yahoo mail updates on my Samsung android phone. Does anyone know what's happened? Sure it's something simple, but I am like an old nanna with technology and need help please?!!! Thanks.

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.

HT1430 I cannot get yahoo mail. The message asked for password for yahoo many times.

In order to use Yahoo! Mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings » Safari » Private Browsing, and turn it off
I cannot get yahoo mail nor send email on iPad 3. I have OS 6 just upgraded. It keeps on asking for password. I think my yahoo email was also hacked to compound the problem. Please help.

I get this warning now To. Never saw it in last 5 years and 4 iPhones. Cannot get yahoo small biz email access anymore via iPhone on safari web login because of this same warning. Typically , either yahoo or apple screwed up and changed something that effects millions and think nothing of it. (battery gate in all the iPhone 4/4s comes to mind here)
As you can tell I "used" to be an apple fan but after this iPhone 4s dies (prematureally of course) I will be getting my first android phone and see flash and the rest of the hidden Internet that apple kept from myself the paying customer.

Cannot get Yahoo mail since updating ios on 2/2

updated on 2/2, mail was ok for about 15 hours, then nothing. when I go into Yahoo mailbox it says "connecting".....then reverts to "Updated Tuesday". My mailbox is empty, bc I already tried to delete my Yahoo account and reinstall. Also tried shutting phone down.
PLEASE help if possible ~~ YES, I can get mail on the Yahoo App, but I don't like it

Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.

Whenever i turn on ipad mail i get a message cannot gt mail the connection to the server failed

when i turn on ipad mail it says cannot get mail the conenction to the server failed

I had connection to my email last night when I went to bed. When I woke up this morning, my "hotmail" account wouldn't connect to the server. My other emails are fine but I cannot get my email to connect to the server. I called microsoft and asked and my email works on my computer but it's the strangest anomaly that my email of all days stops working now. I need it so bad to do work. I've already tried deleting the email and resetting it up twice but I just don't know what to do.
Thanks,
John

Check your username, password and account settings for that email account.
If they all look right, then try deleting the account, and re-adding it.

Show and Share Connection to video server failed

I have an SNS server running version 5.2.3. Everything time I try to play a video I get an error stating Connection to video server failed. I am storing videos locally on the SNS server. I can't figure out why I am getting the error.
Thanks,

Hello Tom
1- Yes this is could be from license issue.Can you check the license for your Cisco SNS?.
2- Can you also restart services of Cisco show and share "streaming server" from Cisco DMM as attached.
3-Can you check the pairing is ok.
4-Did you have MXE integration , after uploading the video , what is the status of job "completed or failes".
Note:I got same problem before when i changed my FQDN from name to other but i fixed .
Thanks

Connection to hotmail server failed

Both my iPhone 5 and iPad when retrieving email state the connection to hotmail server failed, even with wifi. Ale to access via safari though. Any ideas?

Hotmail was having mobile server issues yesterday, they might still be having problems.

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.

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.

I am having a problem accessing my Yahoo email account. It keeps saying, cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed. Then I put my email in settings and it works but this happens constantly. Anyone having this problem?

My Yahoo email asks me daily for my email password or says the connection to the server failed. Is anyone having this problem currently? I noticed old messages in chat mentioned the same problem. I get into my Yahoo email fine on my desktop computer for several weeks without re entering a password. But the IPad does not seem to be connecting daily with Yahoo without putting a password in again.

So, I didn't change anything and now it is working better. I still get the odd error though.
I have a feeling this has something to do with the SSL update Apple released and it was their server side.

My iphone has lost connection to the server; I cannot get e-mails.

My iphone has lost connection to the server; I cannot get e-mails. What can I do to fix that?

I recently put on a PowerPoint presentation at DU, in Denver Colorado; signed on as DU guest to access Internet link. SInce then I haven't been able to get e-mail on my Iphone - Cannot Get Mail, Server Stopped Responding. I tried all previous suggestions, such as rebooting phone, updating software etc. I went to MacBook Pro and tried logging on to yahoo e-mail. Apparently there was a security risk to my e-mail account so Yahoo locked up my account. I reset my password, it was verified through text message, and Voila it worked. Don't forget you also have to change this on your Iphone: go into settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; click on your e-mail browser, then account and enter your new password, click done and it will verify on you phone as well. Hope this helps!!!
