A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
On the iPhone, tap Settings.
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
Tap Add Account.
Tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
Click Next.
Ensure IMAP is selected.
Enter the following incoming mail server information:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL: Yes
Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail.
Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
Tap Next.
The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
That’s all!

I have now deleted the account and reinstalled it but now I can't get my e-mails through at all. Can anyone make any suggestions?

Hello,
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

Since I updated FF to ver 4 I can't access my att yahoo mail. (Error 404)

I get error 404: "The requested url was not found on this server." I can access my ATT.NET mail using IE with the same url that I've always used on FF with no problem. Nothing else has been changed other than updating to FF4. I reinstalled FF4 with no help. Do you know if I can dl an older version of FF? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, George

Do you know which version of Exchange Server you're using? We just got 2010 and I can get into the app and view messages in the reading (preview) pane, but it's very confusing compared with 2003. Does it matter whether you choose the full OWA or the basic/light OWA?
Rather than re-install, you may want to test in Firefox's Safe Mode to rule out an add-on conflict.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that fix it?

Why can't I get my Yahoo mail to work on my recently upgraded Mozilla on my Mac OS X 10.7.4?

I just upgraded my Mozilla Firefox. My yahoo mail loads but opening an email takes forever and I cannot reply, forward, or delete any mail items.
My yahoo account works without a problem on my iphone so I know it is a problem with the computer/mail interface.
What can I do to fix this or go back to the old version of Firefox where I had no problems?

In my case, it appears that Ghostry was the problem (but for some reason, only on the Mac). I disabled blocking on mail.yahoo.com and Mail started working again...

My mail was working fine until yesterday. Now it says that mail connects to the internet - but something wrong with the ports. I have spoken with talktalk - they can't help, Ithe major problem being that I have forgotten my password!

Hi, I'm working on an Imac, yesterday email was working fine, now nothing is happening. It says that I need a password to check details - this I can't remember, it doesn't seem to be the same as the one I use to log on to mail through browser (talktalk) - message says can connect to internet but error with port settings etc which need verifying. Talktalk unable to help further - but as I can't get past password page I am very stuck. Any one help as to how to find out password.... have tried to make a new account but that doesn't seem to wrok either. Am wondering if fault is with computer. Thanks.

ChrisK21,
Make sure your settings match up with this:

if wouldn't hurt to delete the account entirely and just re-set it up in preferences.

Yahoo mail finally working!!

before i upgraded to 1.1.3 my iphone wouldnt send an email through yahoo, even if i threatened to flush it down the toilet (which i never would but it would irritate the crap out of me!!)!! now, my yahoo mail is working fine. has anyone else experienced this?

Its working for me too, but only if I actually log on to Yahoo mail via a Mac/PC every couple of days and send an email online. If I dont do that-push stops working.
Strange.

E51 Gmail and Yahoo mail box access

Dear All
I was trying to configure the gmail and yahoo mail accounts in the new E51 which I have bought. I have correctly configured the mail setup with the correct username and password. But I am getting an error "Invalid Mail for exchange credentials. Check credential settings". The pop up is coming repeatedly on the phone even if am not using the same.
Please help me out for the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Joseph

Hi Guys!
I'm sure by now your problems are solved. Nevertheless, let me simplify this for you. I have both my Gmail and my Yahoo mail setup on my E51 and they work beautifully. One thing you should be aware of is that while Gmail offers mobile & POP access free, you need to upgrade to a business account in yahoo to avail the same. That being said, here are the settings for each:
For Gmail:
Connection Settings > Incoming E-Mail
User name: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
Password: Enter your Password
Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com
Access Point in Use: Select the active data connection
Mailbox Name: Whatever you like
Mailbox Type: IMAP4
Security (ports): SSL/TLS
Port: Default
Connection Settings > Outgoing E-Mail
My e-mail address: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
User name: Again enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
Password: Enter your password
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
Access Point in Use: Select the active data connection
Security (ports): StartTLS
Port: 587
User Settings:
My Name: Whatever name you'd like to appear in your sent emails
Send Message: Choose 'Immediately' if you would like your phone to connect to the internet and send the message everytime you send an e-mail. Otherwise choose 'during next connection'
Send copy to self: Choose yes if you would like a copy of all mails that you send using your mobile, to be sent to your inbox too.Otherwise choose No.
Include Signature: Your choice. If you choose yes, enter the signature text
New E-Mail alerts: On

What this means is that mails deleted from you phone will continue to remain on your server and will be accessible the next time you access your mail using a PC.
Retrieval Settings:
E-Mail to retrieve: No choice here. Gmail only allows you to retrieve headers first. If you feel a mail is important you can select it and download the entire message later.
Retrieval Amount: Set how many e-mails you would like downloaded
IMAP4 folder path: This is set to 'Unix path' by default. Let it be
Folder Subscriptions: No changes required here
Automatic Retrieval: Select E-mail retrieval and set it to 'Enabled'.

With this done you should have no poblems accessing both, your yahoo mail and gmail on your E51 over a Wi-Fi connection or a data plan from your service provider.

TS1843 Not receiving apple mail. Connection Doctor says not connected to server. Yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

Not receiving apple mail. Checked connection Doctor. Not connected to server, yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

No, I have a Mac and my email connects via our pacbell account we've had for years. However, something in the Preferences/Accounts is not correct I am guessing. Also, it asks for the password and if I put it in and click save through general or viewing, it's NOT saving it and still not allowing me to get email. My husband tried reading about this through our AT&T acct and said to change the incoming server to imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo;[email protected], but now I can't receive or send any email on my Mac. In advanced not sure if it should be Port of 465 or 900 something or other and SSL checked or not. I called AT&T and they want to take over my machine by charging $15/mos for a year to fix this. Ridiculous.
So, everytime prior to yesterday, when my husband messed around with it, I was getting a POP needs password box, typed in my password, but to no avail..Then it Keychain password popped up and assumed it was the same, but there's no way to change or modify it even using the new password my husband set up through AT&T. I am at a complete loss.
I can access mail through yahoo mail and it takes me to AT&T Yahoo Mail, but no contacts are there so needless to say this is a pain.
I appreciate any assistance you can give me so I can get back on my email as I have for 4 years.
Thanks Hackintosh...I look forward to hearing from you....you can use the email above and it will come to me through my yahoo web page....Thanks again and let me know if you need any other information. If you respond on here, I may not get the answer from you as I didn't know you responded until I came on discussions. THanks

Can't access recent Emails from mail tile in window 8.1. Everything working fine until yesterday. I can get my Emails by going to google Chrome and accessing my gmail but I like just hitting the mail tile in 8.1. Also is the start

Hi,
Could you please explain a bit for the " mail tile " mentioned here?

My firefox locks up routinely on Gmail and Yahoo mail sites. It opens normally, and when I go to the login page, it locks ... in both instances.

My software locks up while I have Firefox open and am seeking to login to either gmail or yahoo mail.
It works well until I get to the login screen ... and then locks and will not allow any keyboard or mouse work ... except that I can get to my taskmaster and close Firefox and then everything works.
Today, for the first time, it did it on another site.
Is there a 64bit iteration?
I am using the 32 bit Firefox ... the latest version (This all began with this upgrade) on a 64 bit/Windows 7.
Thanks. rg

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''.

All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues.

I deleted my cookies and now i can't access gmail facebook and other sites

i deleted my cookies and now i can't access gmail facebook and other sites

Thanks, but I tried that and was directed to set up a new password which I did. But, it still wouldn't let me go to my existing Gmail. I was asked to set up Gmail account. I also tried accessing my Gmail from Yahoo. Failed. Someone suggested setting up another Gmail address so that when you logged on it would ask you which Gmail to open. This didn't work and only made the problem worse. Google Help is no help. I guess the only way to access Gmail is with my iPad, but it just isn't right!

I upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and now I can't access gmail

I upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and now I can't access gmail- it tells me that the connections to the outgoing server stmp.gmail.com failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Anyone else have that problem? What should I do?

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.
