My att/yahoo mail account quit working on my home M/B Pro after my iphone was linked to the account.

Several weeks ago my work upgraded my phone to a I Phone 5S and linked the phone to my work and home E-mail accounts.
The phone works perfectly to send and receive both, but my home M/B Pro mysteriously quit linking to my ISP:  Att.net (Yahoo) account.
Suggestions?
Is there a more user friendly E-mail program other than Enourage 2008 for my mail account.  (Extremely impossible to move users, saved emails, settings up to new upgrades / installs.

There are no viruses or trojans affecting iPhones unless your phone is jailbroken or hacked. 
"Losing" email account passwords is not that rare and can be caused by a variety of factors that corrupt data - that's why you should be frequently backing up and syncing the phone.  Just reenter your password.

  • HT201320 This last week, I updated my iPhone with iOS6 and now my Yahoo Mail no longer works.  I've deleted and restored the account without fixing the problem.  The iOS update did not effect my iPad.  Anyone have a suggestion?

    This last week (of 17 Sep 12) I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and now my Yahoo mail does not work.  I keep getting a "Yahoo server busy" message.  This problem has not effected the update to my iPad 3 - it works fine.  In addition, I have deleted and added my Yahoo mail - same result.  Looking for ideas on repairing the link between iOS 6 and Yahoo.  Cheers

    Same here, albeit with a 3G and both a work Exchange account and personal Gmail are out of action.  Reentered my password on the Gmail to no avail.
    Unfortunately it seems that increased success has come too fast to Apple, it's starting to display Microsoft-like behaviors, e.g., releasing stuff and letting the customers serve as the beta / guinea pigs.

  • I have a yahoo mail account address - Mail will not work with that?

    I tried to mail an email using my Yahoo mail account address. Mail sent it back to me saying that Yahoo rejected it.
    Do I just keep using mailing from Yahoo instead of Mail to keep things working?
    When I click on an e-mail address Mail does come up as my default mail program. How can I change that back to Yahoo using Safari? I've asked that question of Yahoo, but they just tell me to use Firefox, which I do not want to do. I like Safari and will simply fight the Mail program back if I have to. There must be a way to get it under control though - I hope.
    I do use Mail to back up notes from my iPhone. It does work for that just fine.
    TIA,
    Ken

    "Second Step: Launch Mail/Preferences/General/Default email reader and choose Google Notifier.app from the list. Now the mailto links will also bring up a blank email, ready for you to fill out and send by using your Gmail account. "
    Here is Mail getting in the way again. I appreciate your information, I downloaded Notifier and got to the point of above, needing to go to preferences in Mail. Mail will not let me go to preferences unless I give Mail an e-maill account to service. I do not want Mail to service an account. Mail is a nasty obtrusive program that wants to be in the driver's seat of my computer system. If I give Mail my gmail account set up again, using that italian program that also is a hack to my system, I will need to do that just to access Mail preferences so I can tell Mail that it is okay to use Gmail?
    Something is fishy in Denmark to be sure.
    I'm going to delete Notifier.app until I am able to see what gives with Mail.
    Thanks, I thought that was going to be the answer. Mail has stopped me in my tracks again.
    OOoommmm..... (counting to 10)

    Later post, I think this post has also taken it that I want to use Mail, Read my many statements, over a dozen by now, that I do not want to use Mail. I want to compose my outgoing mail in GMail. I want GMail to be my default mail program. I wan Apple Mail to Die! (at this point, that seems impossible to accomplish.)
    It's simple, but I will repeat and repeat. I simply want to be able to click on a link, like a link in Craigslist to respond to an ad, and have the GMail compose e-mail come up ready to respond to the Craigslist ad.
    Ken
    EVen more frustration now, I tried the notifier icon in the menu bar and selected compose mail and it tried to open up Apple Mail. How can I get rid of Apple Mail and let my system know that I want the GMail account to come up to compose my email in GMail (what I was trying to do with Yahoo until I got nowhere with Yahoo, now I'm trying to see if I can get GMail to work as my default mail program.

  • Yahoo mail account drops out randomly. I have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection.

    II have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection. When I put in the password I get a message that it is not the correct password. The only way round it appears to be to go into Yahoo on Safari, log out then log bck in again. If I then go back into Mail and right click on the account I cn then get mail for this account without having to enter a password. The problem only started when I installed Lion, but is still the same in Mountain Lion.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Enter the details of her second account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars.

    Download the yahoo email app, if you already deleted and reinstalled the email account and still have issue.
    This is a known issue with Yahoo email account.

  • My Yahoo mail account has suddenly stopped working. Have deleted and re installed but still not working. Recently updated iOS could this be related?

    Try resetting the Yahoo password. Yahoo not infrequently has problems.

    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.

  • My ATT IMAP Mail account will not receive mail unless I rebuild the mailbox.

    Hi - I have one ATT IMAP Mail account that does not receive mail promptly, often taking hours or even days to arrive unless I rebuild that particular mailbox. Another IMAP account with a different provider works fine. I have tried to figure out the problem with ATT, but they seem to think the problem is Apple Mail. I know the mail should be arriving because I can see it in in webmail, but it doesn't arrive until immediately after I rebuild. What's up with this and how do I fix it?

    AT&T uses Yahoo for mail service, and Yahoo often causes problems with Mail in OS X, so there may not be a good solution. You can try the following.
    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • 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.

  • Compatible issues firefox v37.0.2 with att yahoo mail

    Compatible issues firefox v37.0.2 with att yahoo mail
    Hello: this is my first post,hope I am doing it properly.
    I am using W7pro OS and ATT DSL 3.0Mbps dl
    I noticed this week that I was unable to save attachments from my ATT Yahoo mail I could view them but no choice as to ware to save them--only choice (save to my comp.)But no ware to be found.
    I reinstalled v 36.0.4-preventing auto upgrade-But still had same problem.
    At this point contacted ATT support supervisor-we spent about 4hr working on problem--He was using your v 31.5.0--and had no problem accessing and saving attachments using remolt access on my comp.
    We also found using my comp.FF v 36.0.4 & v 37.0.2 browser,that we could without any problems access an save attachments--AOL mail-- & mail2web.--& IE--Even when forwarding inaccessible mail to above sites.
    He informed me that (ATT mail Yahoo)only uses resources to make them compatible with--Google IE & Chrome &Apple? (basically he was saying,that they would NOT commit resources to FF--any version)BUT he was not allowed to commit.
    PS: The last time I know it worked ok was 3-18-15 I have 3 comp.2 wxp pro 1 w7 pro the same problem on all 3--so feel confident not OS related-but compatible problems with FF & yahoo mail.
    The ATT support supervisor-was unable to determined the date they may have made changes on their site.without extensive research-which we decided wasn't worth the effort as they wouldn't look in to it.
    I hope someone or FF will be able find a workaround-as I do not want to use the browsers they suggest. I LOVE FF.
    Thank You Gary

    I have no idea what you are asking me to do ??--can you explain at a dummy
    level--I wont be offended.

  • Yahoo mail no longer working with IPad

    My ipad is no longer keeping copies of the yahoo emails I leave in my Inbox. It's only downloading New emails and once those have been opened they are no longer accessible. The other mail accounts that I have set up on IPad still work find. Any ideas?

    Have you looked at the advanced setting for you Yahoo mail account. There you can select when you want read emails to be deleted. Options vary from Never to one day. Maybe it changed somehow

  • My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices,  It attempts to download new email but then stops.  Any ideas?

    My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices,  It attempts to download new email but then stops.  Any ideas?

    I, too, am having a problem with my Yahoo email account on my first generation IPad. I can't download my emails to my IPad from the server. The IPad looks like it's trying to download them but can't do it. I am able to send emails from my IPad with my Yahoo account.
    This problem started yesterday, Aug., 25th, the day after I uploaded the last update from Apple. I am able to set up another email account through Sbcglobal that will download my emails to my IPad but it is not sync'ed with my desktop mail which creates a mess when I move or delete emails.
    I've tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. Also I've reset my IPad and I've done a full restore.
    I think it has something to do with the last update, which I believe was a security update, which may have reset the firewall. That's just a guess.
    Has anyone figures out anything else?

  • Need Help Setting Up Chattermail with AT&T Yahoo Mail Account

    Ok... so I've spent half the day trying every possible permutation of my login, server name etc and I STILL can't get Chattermail to successfully log in.
    This is a paid Yahoo mail account.   The servers I succesfully use for my older 700w were:  incoming: pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com, outgoing: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com   
    I'm confused by the set up in chattermail.  It doesn't have the servers marked as "outgoing" and "incoming"  I've put the incoming  server name in the "define" tab and the outgoing in the "smtp" tab.
    I've tried both my entire email address and just the part before the "@" as my login.  I also have the ssl boxes checked because my system seems to be using those.
    I cannot get it to work.  Does anyone have any ideas?
