Does iPhone Yahoo! Mail use ssl?

Does Yahoo! Mail settings in iPhone use SSL? The default Yahoo! Mail settings seems not available to the users(no server location or port or ssl information visible). For Gmail, you can actually see all the configuration you pick.
Given the fact that even the official yahoo mail web site does not support https, i am wondering if such thing also available in iPhone yahoo mail?
(otherwise, checking yahoo mail on iphone on a public wifi network seems bit scary)

If you add the Yahoo Mail account in iOS 4.2.1 it appears to use SSL based on the TCP ports that are being used. Yahoo Mail accounts added under older iOS versions will not use SSL.

  • Yahoo mail using all my iphone cell data

    In the last month, my cell data use has quadrupled (usually average around 2.5GB, now I'm on pace to hit 7.5GB by the end of the month). The culprit seems to be my Yahoo mail coming into the iphone mail app. I've had the account for over a decade, so there is a lot of mail there, but I can't limit how much it's bringing in (thanks, Yahoo). Any ideas as to bugs going on about Yahoo mail servers sucking up all the cell data? I don't have the option of being on wifi at work during the day, so this is a big pain.

    Thanks, You know..... it happened with me once before when I first use the windows live mail client.... I contacted yahoo staff and they replied with the same as you replied......( I thought that there is  way to do what I wanted )...
    By the way they advised me, if I wanted to get my folders .... I have to MOVE messages from specific folder to INBOX then SYNC imail then CREATE folder in imail with the same name as in my yahoo and so on !!!!
    OK, if there are ways to sync the WINDOWS LIVE MAIL accounts and its folders, it will be great..... Does anyone know HOW TO ?

  • Does the 'Hotmail' option in IOS mail use SSL to connect to the hotmail servers?

    Just wondering, when selecting the 'Hotmail' option when setting up email on IOS mail, whether this automatically uses SSL to connect to the hotmail servers - it doesn't show any server settings when you view the account.

    Hi Drewscussions,
    Thanks for the reply - I'm just wondering about the security measures in place behind those predefined settings I.e. does it use an encrypted SSL link. I would like to ensure, as I often access emails off public wifi, that I have it set correctly to use an encrypted connection to my hotmail account.
    My emails have been working fine - it's more of a question about what security measures are in place in that preset mail option.
    Cheers

  • How does one sign in to Yahoo Mail using iOS 7.1, Safari and an iPad 2

    After I updated the operating system on my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1, I can no longer signin to yahoo mail.  I have tried this with multiple accounts and it does NOT work on my iPad but DOES work on my iMac so this is not a password problem. when I try to sign in, after I enter the password, there is a hesitation and then the sign in window flashes and returns with the account name but the password gone.

  • Why does my Yahoo Mail consistently "stall" or "freeze" when I check my email using Firefox.

    I press a button (such as "send" or "delete"), and nothing happens. No error message. Nothing. Occasionally if I wait long enough, the program responds. Doesn't seem to be a problem on other browsers.

    Yahoo Mail freezes Safari on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.2) and I have been force reloading pages to free it up again. Now that doesn't seem to work either. This evening I about given up on using Safari with Yahoo altogether. I don't why this has to be - I've been using Yahoo Mail on my Macs since 2001 and never had trouble. For now, I'll be using Firefox for my email but I'd sure like to go back to using Safari.

  • Mac mail: Use SSL on SMTP Server turning on

    I recently received and set up a new macbook pro (OSX 10.8.3) and I use it in both a wireless and wired network state.
    I set up some POP accounts in my mac mail, and everything works great.  But it seems that whenever I switch between networks, the "Use SSL" checkbox in my SMTP account for the mail magically turns on (I say "seems" because it could be some other factor such as actually changing to a completely different network location).  At this point I can send out no new mails.  I tracked this down fairly quickly, and annoying as it is, it *appears* at first glance to have a simple solution, go in and uncheck the box every time.  However, the frustrating thing is, as soon as this occurs, I can't get the unchecked box to save. I'll go in, uncheck it, close it down, mail still won't send, and when I go back in I find it's still happily checked as "Use SSL".
    The only way I've found to solve this problem so far is to delete the SMTP account, and then create a brand new one with the option unchecked.  But having to do this every time I switch networks is ridiculous!
    Does anyone have any thoughts as to what's going on or how I can *permanently* resolve this issue rather than resetting up my SMTP account over and over.

    This seems to be a bug in 10.8.3. I submitted a bugreport and Apple replied this was a 'known bug'. Hope they fix it rather soon.

  • Verizon yahoo mail - use POP3 to download Sent Items?

    Hi,
    I am using Verizon Yahoo Mail. I'd like to setup a POP3 account in Microsoft Outlook 2010 to download all of my messages onto my hard drive. I managed to get to the point where I am able to retrieve all of the messages in my Inbox, but if possible, I would also like to retrieve the messages that are in my Sent Items folder as well. Can anyone tell me how I can do this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Verizon Yahoo utilizes the Yahoo front end for webmail, etc. Usually the problem that generates these errors codes is temporary and will resolve itself if you logout and log back in or simply try again in a couple of hours. If the problem happens everytime it will need to be investigated further.

  • Problem replying in yahoo mail using iPod touch

    Hi,
    I am not able to to reply to emails using yahoo mail configured in ipod touch, I have this message : Cannot Send Mail The connection to the outgoing server "(null)" failed.
    But I'm able to send mails when not replying. What can I do to solve this problem?
    Thanks
    Pat

    I had the same problem with Yahoo! Mail but even worse I found that I simply could not send any mail at all. The problem only arose this week after installing the new (1.1.4) software upgrade.
    I had originally set up Yahoo! Mail using the option given on the Mail screen and it worked perfectly until the upgrade, which may just have been coincidental, I suppose. But I was then unable to send any mail at all. I deleted the e-mail account and then reapplied it but not by opting for the Yahoo! option on Mail and instead set it up as an 'Other' POP account, being sure to deactivate SSL and instead go for Password verification. From what I gather this is just how you would set up a Yahoo! Mail account for MacMail and this basically applies the advice that BT gives for Yahoo! Mail users with a Mac.
    It then worked fine, but I lost the really cool real-time sync with Yahoo! Mail which I had had previously.
    I have since managed to get Yahoo! Mail working again properly by simply trying and trying and trying to reapply the account as a true Yahoo! Mail account on the Mail icon and eventually it gave in to my dogged persistence.
    Good luck.

  • New gmail account on iPhone cannot connect using SSL

    Hi,
    I was having problems accessing the gmail server on my iphone so i deleted the account settings on the iphone and am creating a new one. However, the iphone tells me that it cannot connect using SSL. Has anyone had a similar problem? I don't want to setup the account without this basic security.

    Hey milos321,
    I'm not sure what caused the issue. I believe account may have been automatically locked because abnormal activity.

  • I can log into my yahoo home page using Firefox. I can't link from my yahoo page to yahoo mail using Firefox. Help!

    I get a failure message saying: “The requested URL /mc/welcome was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9 with Suhosin-Patch Server at us.mc1120.mail.yahoo.com Port 80″ I have deleted all cookies, flushed my DNS and temp files. Problem persists... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 3.6 and then upgraded to Firefox 4. Firefox appears to function okay in all my other browsing use. If I use IE as a browser The yahoo mail link functions correctly. I suspect that Firefox or an add-on that I don’t see listed under tools/ add-ons may be rejecting the URL “redirect” as a Phishing .attempt??? This has been going on for 2 weeks several attempts a day. Don’t just say the server is busy , try later because Firefox fails, IE works as well as the IE Tab for Firefox problem revolves around Firefox and yahoo email. I have run Norton and Spy sweeper too no problems. When I enable the Google toolbar I will get a similar error "Oops! This link appears broken." Any Help GREATLY appreciated!

  • Yahoo mail ,using ff shows resolutions not high enough but works withchrome

    When I log into Yahoo mail I get a popup stating my computer resolutions are too low. Nothing has changed. I can log in OK using Chrome.or Google on this same computer.

    Hmm, maybe... Firefox changes the resolution reported to websites based on your zoom level. Could you try reducing your zoom a notch (hold down the Ctrl key and tap the - key) to see whether that makes a difference? When you reload the Yahoo page, use Crl+Shift+r to force a full reload and bypass any cached files.

  • Why don't I see the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs when composing a message in the new Yahoo Mail, using Firefox, but I do when using Internet Explorer?

    I have been using the new Yahoo Mail on Firefox. But today I noticed that when I write an email (Compose/Reply/Forward), I cannot format it. Only the 'Attachments' tab is present, but the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs are not.
    But when I do it using Internet Explorer, all those tabs are present and I can format and do whatever.
    Is there something wrong with my Firefox? I have restarted my computer, I have shut it down, but my Yahoo Mail remains problematic when using Firefox.

    Firefox only allows you to save executable files. If you want to add an option to run them you can use the OpenDownload² add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902
