I can't keep Yahoo mail account open 2 weeks in a row even with a mark in box KEEP ME OPEN. I did go to Tools, Options, Security to check SAVED PASSWORD box

Usually, after opening Firefox, to check my Yahoo mail, I log in with my password, and mark the little box in front of KEEP ME OPEN, I can check my mail, and then close Firefox. Whenever I open Firefox, I can access my Yahoo mail account without typing my password. It stays open for 2 weeks. From yesterday, whenever I close Firefox, to access my mail account, I must log in again no matter whatever I've tried such as: Tools-Options-Security-Saved Password, or log out, then log in, type PW, mark little box to KEEP ME OPEN. I even uninstall Firefox, restart, download and re-install Firefox 8.0. The problem can never be solved. It's very annoying to log in by typing again and again my PW. Please help me out since I don't know what causes this problem. Thanks everybody who can help me out.

Benji, I did get the email server error message again last night around 8PM, but again the email does eventually go. Wondering if the 6PM to 9PM time frame is a busy time for Yahoo email servers and somehow our iTouch or portable devices take a lower priority? I seem to get the error only once a day now around that time, then everything seems fine again...could be a server issue.
Still looking for a pattern with the blank white web pages when I try and view a previous web page. Seems to happen most when I look at the "iPod touch User Guide" (on the included bookmarks)...most of the other times the previous web page loads fine so....humm....
I also had an issue with the Camera app today, the red light button and Picture/Video switch were staying dimmed...finally turned off the iTouch (holding down the Home button then pressing the Sleep/Off button on top) then turned it back on, so the iOS could reboot. That fixed the Camera app. Might want to try that too....seems like it might be a fix for a few things, especially after updating to iOS 4.2.1...

Can't add Yahoo mail account

I'm trying to add my 2nd Yahoo mail account, but the iPhone will not allow it. I always get the message "The username or password for imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect."
The username and password are both correct. The Yahoo mail account that I set up when I got my first iPhone back in 2007 is still working fine, but this new account can't be added. I can access the account just fine from the web.
I've seen this issue show up a lot in various forums, but I haven't found a solution yet. Does anyone have one?

For what it's worth. I have a pacbell.net account through at&t/yahoo. I have set up my email on my iphone 3G using the yahoo mail option. MY email is working and pushing just fine. I cannot, however, set up my daughters account on my phone, nor as the only email account on her iphone 3G. I get the message username and passoword incorrect. These are BOTH sub accounts and both have address as:
[firstname]_[lastname]@pacbell.net
It is befuddling to me why one works and the other doesn't, they are set up identically through att/yahoo. I contacted yahoo and they told me its an iphone issue so I don't know where to go from here. I have not tried resetting network settings on the phone as I have a lot I do not want to loose plus I do not see any reports that this process actually works.
The only thing I can think of is the number of characters in the email address as my first name is only 3 letters and hers is 7.

I am unable to access my yahoo mail account

I am unable to access my yahoo mail account on my iphone 4S, i hve tried to add it but keep getting the message "server unavailable try back later" Can someone help me with this

When you were entering your new password in mac mail for your Yahoo account, you didn't perchance change the user name from [email protected] to just name without the @att.net? I only ask because I've done that, and att.yahoo mail requires a fully qualified [email protected] for access.
In mail, you might click on window on the menu bar, then connection doctor. On the account with the red dot next to it, it will tell you why it can't connect, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to where you can fix it.

When I open my Yahoo mail account, it comes up with lines between every entry. When I try to send a new message, the dialogue box is incomplete. The tool bar above the message box is empty so I cannot change the font or font size, etc.

This problem does not occur when I open my Yahoo mail account in Internet Explorer.
Because of it, I cannot use Firefox to access my Yahoo mail.

On my mail box I keep getting the error message to put in my password for my Yahoo mail account. I put the correct password in the error message come up again.

I keep getting the enter Password for my Yahoo mail account. I put the correct pasword in and the message goes away and comes back a few seconds later. Also the YAhoo email account always shows only one email when I have more that one in the account. Help

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari.

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari, cache and also changed my Yahoo password but problem is still there.

I still don't understand what the problem that you are experiencing is. If you get to a page where yahoo is asking JUST for your password, and there is no box for username (it may have your username displayed, but not in a enter box), then you ARE "being kept signed in" You can verify this by instead of entering your password, go to www.yahoo.com home page, and it will say something like "Hi, Amber" This means you ARE signed in.
When you get that page asking for just your password, you are NOT being asked to sign in again. You are simply being asked to verify/enter your assword an Nth time. If you get that page right after entering your username and password, try clicking the "back" (previous page) button. It might just go to your inbox.
If this is the case, your problem has nothing to do with being kept signed in or not, the problem is that for some (unknown to me) reason, yahoo is asking you to re-enter your password, kind of like when your mac asks for your mac password when changing system settings. Yahoo does this as a safety feature when you go to account settings, and apparently abritary other times. I wish I understood just why I get it every time after signing in.
It could be because I have java turned off. It could be because I don't accept third party cookies. Maybe a cache file. Or a hundred other things... I don't know. It could simply be yahoo is scrooing safari users. I have glanced at the html, but to really understand it, it would take me days. There are over 25 places where username and password are in the html "source" code of the yahoo login page, and even understanding that may not tell me. In the past, I have seen code essentiall saying "if IE x.3.2" do this, if chrome do that, if mozilla do something else, otherwise make it next to impossible...."
My problem is not only I get asked for my assword a second time, but also (and only very recently) I do not get a prompt to save username and pasword. I have gone to yahoo help pages to try to figure it out, and I feel like I just run in circles. If one wants to send a question in, they have to answer half a dozen questions disclosing private information. And I pay yahoo $20/year. grrr
If when you are trying to access your yahoo mail and you are being asked to enter both your username and password, but didn't sign out of yahoo, then indeed your are not being "kept signed in"

Right after the firefox upgrade I can no longer acess my text window in my yahoo mail account. I cant figure out why.

Once firefox completed its upgrade I can no longer access my text window/box in my yahoo mail account. Which means I cannot text from my mail account now. I cant figure out why this is happening.

When trying to open my yahoo mail account, it just freezes on blank page, internet explorer opens it fine, this is the only site that has a prob for me

i can view the login page. I enter my login and pword. Then it just goes to a blank page. The tab at the top of the page and the address bar shows a continuous changing address and nothing happens

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.

I can't use some of the buttons in my Yahoo Mail account

This is one of the reasons I stopped using Pale Moon. I cannot use half of the buttons in my Yahoo Mail account HALF of the time, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Same issue with Fonts, I am looking at 5 different size fonts right now even though I have changed all of them to the same size and unchecked the box that allows websites to choose fonts for me. Do you want everyone on the planet to use IE? These are BASIC things, CHECK MY EMAIL, BE ABLE TO READ ON MY COMPUTER.

Web mail service providers don't always offer the same options for other browsers that they do for Internet Explorer. Ask NHS about that issue.

Downloaded Firefox 4.0, get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail. It opens with Explorer & on desktop with Mozilla 3

Downloaded Firefox 4.0, to Dell Lat D630 on 4/9/11
Get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail.
It opens with Explorer & on networked desktop with Mozilla 3.6
tried all fixes suggested by Support @ Customer Service
No resolution to the access problem today 4/21/11. Do I reinstall 3.6 & delete 4.0? I understand this access problem is common to 4.0 users.

I did some additional testing through Proxy 4. All web sites and web pages including secure sites that I tried accessing over the past couple of days all appear to work fine with the exception of the forementioned sites. Access to these specific web pages (which I cannot currently access) are part of our day-to-day business requirements, and therefore will prevent me from using Proxy version 4.0 as our production proxy unless I can figure out why these web pages won't load, and how to fix the problem.
As an experiment, I tried to access these web pages through Proxy 4 with Mozilla FireFox and Netscape 7. None of these web browsers (including Internet Explorer) will bring up these web pages when going through Proxy 4. But bypassing the proxy or going through our v3.6 proxy works fine for these web pages everytime, and with all browsers. This leads me to believe that this web page access problem is not a browser specific problem, but something in Proxy 4 isn't processing the request to display the page properly.
As a reference, the web site in question is http://www.sunlife.ca. On the left hand side of the page go to "Sign In" then "Plan Members". Thats where the request hangs through Proxy 4 no matter which browser I use, including Netscape... but works perfectly fine with Proxy v3.6.
Can someone who is running a version 4 Proxy also please try to access the SunLife Members login page and see if it works or fails for you?
Thanks

After updating my iPad 2 with os6 my yahoo mail accounts can't log me in as session time expires. When I try again as we'll as confirming my password etc I face the same problem. Any help or ideas?

After updating my iPad 2 with os6 I can't get into my yahoo mail accounts. After repeating the process I get session expired message or sometimes not even this message and just prompts me to re enter my password. I know there is no issue with username or password as it works on my PC without any issues.
Does anyone have an answer to this?

Thanks for your response, however my yahoo mail started to work as normal this morning! No explanation, even though I made several attempts during the past few days by trying to log in but to no avail. Yet today it suddenly worked...presto.
Prior to this I made a trip to the Apple store in London and chatted with a few staff about this issue yesterday and they could not help.....had two answers:
1. Check with yahoo and make sure you have not over stretched the number of accounts ( even though there are only two)
2. If you had backed up os5 on the computer, one could revert back to old software. Otherwise wait for Apple to fix issues as os6 is new.
*Be interesting to know if anyone else has had a similar fix without rhyme or reason?

Have you tried setting up your Yahoo account using Mac Mail instead of dealing with web based mail?
It only takes a minute to set this up.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click +
Enter your name, Yahoo user name and password, click Create.
If you'd rather not do that, it would help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and which version of Safari in your reply.

Mail can't connect to Yahoo Mail account.

For Yahoo Mail accounts I created a few years ago, they work. But the recent ones, they don't. How should I configure in order to allow Mail to manage Yahoo Mail?

Have you tried to take off the parental control just to eliminate that possibility??
If the yahoo email account page opens up then you know the problem lies in the security settings that you have applied...
Please let me know your results..

Can you sync contacts from two different yahoo mail accounts onto the ipad2 (have 2 inboxes and 2 calendars!!)

Am running two yahoo mail accounts on my ipad2. Has set up two inboxed and two calendars automatically and without any problem. Nothing originally populated in the contacts book. Have now set this in ipad set up but only given option of syncing 1 accounts contacts. Can you help?

You each need an iCloud account and to sync your iCal calendars with iCloud. Then you can each share a calendar or calendars privately, so only available to the other, who would be able to edit it, or not, depending on your settings. Please see this page:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694
and the subsquent pages.

I'm not receiving e-mail on my "New" iPad, and I want tdeleted my yahoo mail account and reinstall it. When I go to settings to delete the account, it says I will lose everything in notes, calendars, reminders, etc. Can I delete ONLY the e-mail account?

I'm not receiving e-mail on my iPad (3). I want to try deleting my yahoo mail account and reinstalling it, but when I go to settings to do this, it appears that I will lose my notes, calendars, reminders, etc. Is this right, or is there another way to do this?

Give it time. Yahoo has had persistent issues the past few weeks. wait 24 hours or so and then try again.

I can't keep Yahoo mail account open 2 weeks in a row even with a mark in box KEEP ME OPEN. I did go to Tools, Options, Security to check SAVED PASSWORD box
