Error message setting up Yahoo email account...help!

I just got my new Droid Razr yesterday, and I have tried numerous times to set up my existing Yahoo email account but I keep getting an error message that states "System is unavailable to support the request". My email address and password are correct, I am able to log in just fine on my computer, so I can't figure out what the problem is or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

Try this under the settings:
Yahoo Ymail: IMAP
Incoming Settings:
Username: [email protected]
Password: (check the case for your password)
IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143
Security type: TLS if available
IMAP path prefix: (leave blank, it should read "Optional"
Outgoing Settings:
SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 25
Security type: TLS if available
Require sign-in: Checked
Username: [email protected])
Password: (check the case for your password)
If that does not work, I would use the app available in the Play Store as stated above.

  • Suddenly many emails are not being sent or received on either of my two yahoo email accounts  HELP

    suddenly many emails are not being sent or received from either of my two yahoo email accounts.

    HELP

    try deleting and readding your yahoo accounts. Yahoo has been upgrading their servers for months now, and have been effecting users' accounts as they do so. I have two yahoo accounts and have had each of them mess up for a day or two before they start working again.
    Chances are the issue is on yahoo's end. When mine messed up I simply accessed the mail via the web and safari until it cleared up.

  • HELP - crazy error message setting up a mac account on iphone

    Hi - I've tried Apple support, iphone support, and the submit a question/problem to the mac people with no luck. So, I'm taking my question to the next higher level -- you all.
    So here is the issue. I have had a mac email account for years. I buy my cool new iPhone a few weeks ago, and add my main apple mac email account to the iphone. All is good, and I can send/receive email messages from my main account. Then I add = three other email accounts I have on mac for internet/web surfing, and all is good there too. So, now I can access my 4 apple mac accounts on my iphone.
    Here is the problem -- a few days ago, my main apple mac account stopped working on my iphone. I can still send/receive email messages via web based mac mail, and I can access/send all my mail on my laptopn (just like usual). But, now, when I go to check my main mac account on my iphone it says unable to verify username or password.
    So, I have tried 100 different times now, all to no avail. I deleted it, rebooted it, tried it as a mac account, an IMAP account, POP account, etc. I changed my password. Why or why do I keep getting this error message???????
    I have all the latest versions of itunes, iphone, etc.
    So, can anyone help me (pleeeese)......
    Thanks, Drew

  • Error message when setting up a Yahoo email account.

    I have set up 4 email accounts on my ipad fine. Gmail, a work email and 2 pop emails with no problems but i cannot add my yahoo account. after i use the "ipad easy yahoo set up" i get the following message - The IMAP server "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is not responding. Check you connection and that you are entering the correct information in the "incoming mail server field."
    i am entering Nothing in the incoming mail server field. Apple must have the yahoo mail server pre programmed for easy set up.. all its asking me to enter is name, email addres and password. IN addition why would "apple" be in the imap server name? does this seem correct? i know there was a simliar question to this one a few days ago but there was no resoultion. Is this an Ipad programming programming problem? HELP?

    If you are getting the password incorrect error, try changing the password to be alphanumeric only - no special characters. That worked for me.

    If you have two-step verification turned on, turn it off by logging into your Yahoo mail account on a browser.

  • Help with yahoo email account

    Can't seem to set up my kids yahoo email accounts on their new iPad minis. Keep getting a message saying they can't access the yahoo server. Addresses and passwords are correct. No verification emails show up either.

    thanks carolyn.
    followed your instructions ok, but at end of restoring got an error message. now the ipad is frozen on the screen with the apple and the 'search' icon constantly turning.  i've shut down my mac desktop and upon trying to reconnect i am getting an 'unknowno error message (0xE8000065)
    My iMac desktop and ipad2 is very new and I'm still getting used to apple in general, so hopefully other users may help me from experience as right now i'm lost.

  • 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.

  • Nokia C3-00 - Cant set up my Yahoo email account? ...

    Hi
    I recently bought the Nokia C3-00 on Vodafone but asked them to unlock it so that I could use my exisitng O2 contract. 
    I want to set up my Yahoo email account, but Im having great difficulty!
    When I initially put my O2 sim card in, they sent me the settings for MMS and Web.  I can get on the internet and I can access Facebook, but I cant seem to access the Nokia Ovi Store or set up my Yahoo email account.
    I watched this http://www.youtube.com/user/nokiasupportvideos#p/u/15/lTlWUH5EqMw Nokia Support Video on Youtube but my menu looks different to the one in the video!   When I click on the Mail icon on the Menu screen I have a message appear saying 'No mailbox created. Set up mail now?'  If I click 'Yes' It says 'Use an existing mail address?' to which I also say 'Yes' and proceed to emter my email address, etc.  Should this be happening as I notice in the video that Yahoo Mail is one of the options in the video, however as I have said I do not have that screen!
    Can someone please help!?
    Thanking you in advance!
    Sarah

    Changing the Yahoo password has helped for others.

  • Error Message for Incoming Yahoo! Emails

    I have a friend that just purchased a Pre and is getting error messages when receiving incoming emails.  We have set his Y! email account up numerous times to make sure his credentials are correctly entered.  He is able to get into his account from the Mail Icon and view/access his email, but every time he receives a notification of a new email and touches the envelope in the lower right hand corner of the screen, he receives a Y!-branded error message that says that his Login Credentials are rejected and that he needs to tap to update his password.  When he selects the error message, it sends him to the Mail sign-in page where he can update his credentials.  He can send emails without any problem.

    Try to remove the email account perform a restart shown here and add the account again. If the issue keeps happening you may need to do a partial and full erase.

  • HT1349 I have an i-pad and have just got an i-phone but want 2 use a different I cloud? I've set up new email account and apple ID, but I can't change the I-cloud settings, can u help PLS??

    I have an i-pad and have just got an i-phone but want 2 use a different I cloud? I've set up new email account and apple ID, but I can't change the I-cloud settings, can u help PLS??

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

  • 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.

  • Our Yahoo email account is sending out spam messages

    our yahoo email account received a spam message that I stupidly opened. Now we are receiving messages from our contacts saying they are receiving strange attachments. We changed the password.  Should we be sending a group message to all of our contacts? Should we be scanning the iPad for viruses?

    There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). So you didn't get infected with anything, and opening the message had nothing to do with it.
    Your e-mail account probably got hacked and is being used to send spam. Changing the password was all that is needed, just make sure it's a good, strong password not used by any other online accounts. Also, if you were using your old e-mail password for any other online accounts, they may have been compromised. There's a lot of information in the typical e-mail account that can help a hacker locate all your other online accounts.
