My yahoo email account won't load on my iPhone.

It will take my password and username but then when I go into the email app and try to load the mailing hangs for ages then says there are 7 other messages. Then I try pressing that to load them but it just sits there!! I haven't been using my yahoo account long but would like to get this sorted so I can actually use it!

  • Yahoo email account won't set up

    I had my verizon.net email account working for over 3 years.
    Suddenly yesterday I noticed that I wasn't receiving emails. What I noticed was I was getting an error saying that there was a problem with apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com server wasn't connecting.
    I tried a new yahoo account and it gives me the same error. Even when I attempted to set up my Gmail account, it failed with the same thing.
    Ay ideas what is going on? Is this a operating system problem or has Apple done something?
    Thank you

    This may seem strange to anyone who reads this, but I figured out how to get this to work.
    I was trying this at home connecting through my WiFi connection. When I went outside, away from my WiFi, and using my network, everything worked fine.
    I came home, connected back to my WiFi and it failed again. I turned off my WiFi and sure enough it worked.
    I don't know why my WiFi would make this happen, but it did.
    Hope this helps.

  • Should my "Contacts" be "On" or "Off" for my Yahoo email account?

    I lost all of my Contacts in my COMPUTER for my Yahoo email account; I then looked through my iPhone to see what my email settings showed and it showed my Contacts were turned "Off". I turned them 'On" and now I'm getting ominous messages about turning it back "Off" again. (I don't know what I'm doing and should never have turned them "ON" without knowing what I was doing.)
    Does anyone know if I can get my iPhone email contacts back onto my computer? And Should my iPhone be "On" or "OFF" for my Contacts in my Yahoo email settings??  Help!

    You only turn that off if you have very sensitive operations and data that cannot be corrupted by power loss or serious loss incurs. Mainly server operations and database files.

  • TS3899 I have a yahoo email account setup on my iPad & iPhone.  The new mail is never marked as unread when downloaded to my iPad or iPhone. Is there anyway to fix this?

    Hey there Fabian, 
    If I understand correctly you are going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Add Account but that last option is not usable because it is gray. In testing this for you, I was able to reproduce this by enabling Restrictions and denying Account Changes. You can configure that with this article:
    About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

    I think you have to turn off Private Browsing.
    Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

  • Yahoo mail contacts won't load on Firefox 3.6

    I am using FF 3.6 on XP. Yahoo mail contacts won't load so I can't access my contacts list for emails, etc.
    I am able to successfully open Yahoo mail and view my contacts in IE 7. The contacts tab opens and I can access addresses for email etc.
    What's up w/ that?

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Android Phone and Verizon-Yahoo Email account

    I've had my Verizon-Yahoo email account as my default email on my Android phone for nearly
    2 years. Suddenly, it does not sync with my actual email anymore and I cannot retrieve newly
    sent email to me.
    What happened?
    I deleted my Verizon-Yahoo email account thinking I could readd it without issue and now it
    won't add it. So, I am without my regular, most used email address on my mobile phone.
    How do I fix this problem step by step and what happened in the first place.
    If I canot retrieve my email there is no need for data. I need it for college classes and work,
    as well as other business uses.
    Can someone help me?
    In addition, I have been receiving ALOT of SPAM on my regular Verizon-Yahoo email over the
    past 6-12 months and I don't understand why. How do I fix that. I keep sending these adult ads
    and other SPAM to the SPAM folders but it keeps coming back!! Is someone signing me up
    for this stuff and how do i stop t from happening?
    Thank you for your assistance in advance.
    Blue.

    Hi:
    I experience the same problem when I downloaded systems updates on my Android Bionic phone, I was not able to sync my Verizon Yahoo email account.  I went through the same steps and nothing worked, until one savvy Verizon Wireless IT support agent told me to download the Yahoo Mail App on to my phone and that solved my problem instantly.  I logged in using my Verizon.net username and password and have been able to access my email with no problems ever since and have also updated my Yahoo Mail App and all works beautifully.

  • Original non BT Yahoo email account

    I've just come on to BT Broadband over the last couple of days and although I could access my non BT Yahoo email account yesterday I cannot today. I see there is something about SMTP verification - is that what I need to do? Or do I need to access via Outlook Express - which at the moment is downloading only my (disconnected but still live) ntlworld emails! Can I in all this preserve my inboxes, folders and files, and address books from both the Yahoo and current Outlook Express accounts?
    Solved!

    Thanks for reply - sorry I didn't realise it was one when I got it in my mailbox (but that's another matter!) I don't think I explained myself well. I did in fact find my original Yahoo account in the end but I can only find it if I close BT Yahoo down and go to the www.yahoo.co.uk site (ie if I try to put this address in while I have BT Yahoo up I cannot get it).
    Apologies if it sounds like I'm being awkward - I'm not - but "I cannot get it" doesn't give much to go on!
    Why not ?   What happens ?
    I find that, with a BTYahoo window open and signed in, if I open another tab and go to yahoo.co.uk I'm logged in as my BTY persona. Signing out of that, and logging in again with a yahoo ID gets me a page where I'm signed in with my Yahoo credentials.
    Doe that help ?
    I don't have Yahoo or BT Yahoo downloading to my Outlook Express only my old ntlworld account which is still operative in my previous home (where family still use it) so presumably I can continue to get these although I cannot reply so of course I'm in the process of letting all contacts/subscriptions know.
    I'm not sure if you're referring to Yahoo, BTYahoo or NTLworld...
    What I would like to do is have all 3 email accounts downloading to OE but could I do this without losing any of the archives/address books?
    OE could, I think, be setup to deal with all 3, yes (but I don't use OE, so I can't be specific as to exactly what you'd need to do) and leave your archives and address books alone.
    I say "OE could, I think, be setup to deal with all 3". What I really mean is that it's possible - if OE can't do it, there are certainly other mail clients that can.
    And could I reply to both Yahoo and BT emails?
    Yes - it'll require some setting up, which I can't help you with.
    Or would I be better just to have BT as an email account (preferable) but how would I do this without losing the other two accounts' files/folders/contacts?
    The BT/Yahoo mail servers don't do IMAP, so you won't be able to sync. folders, contacts etc with OE, but they should still be usable via the webmail interface.
    BTY can be configured to fetch email from other accounts - would that be of any help ?

  • How do I go back a page on the Ipad mini? I do not see any arrows anywhere. Also when I go to my yahoo email account and open an email I can not find how to go back and log out. This is our first Ipad and it is very different frm android. Thanks

    We just purchased our first Ipad. It is a mini with retina display 16 GB. How do I go back a page? I see no arrows to page back. Also when I log into  a yahoo email account and open an email I see now way to log out? Thank you for any help

    In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
    In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
    As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email.  If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out.     The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
    If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.

  • IPhone 5 no longer receive emails, but can still send emails with yahoo email account. Any ideas to fix?

    iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2 stopped receiving mail yesterday. Have yahoo email account. Can still send emails. Have turned device off/on. Have done the dual off/on thing using top button and menu button.   Issue seems to be only with main inbox, as sub folders are receiving mail. Other Apple device is not having issues like this, just on iPhone.

    Your issue is with the Yahoo email account which is notoriously bad.
    you can try deleting and reinstalling the email account.
    If that doesn't fix it try the yahoo email app.

  • 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.

  • Yahoo Email and Calendar will sync to my iPhone, but Contacts will not.  Selection for "Default Account" doesn't even show in the Contacts section within Settings on the iPhone.

    I have always had my Yahoo Email, Calendar and Contacts synched to my iPhone.  However, I noticed some Contacts weren't synching from the Yahoo account to my iPhone, so I thought if I just deleted the Yahoo account and added it back, I'd be fine.  That worked fine for my Email and Calendar, but now I have NO Contacts from Yahoo on my iPhone.  When I go to Settings, under Contacts, it doesn't even have the option for 'Default Account.'  Help!

    Hello Marsha,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's not clear exactly what you're trying to accomplish here.  If you're wanting to set up SMS forwarding introduced in iOS 8, then please follow the directions below.  Also, your Apple ID should be an email address.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • Firefox opens some of my yahoo email accounts fine and others have no graphics in text only, other browsers open the yahoo account fine

    when yahoo messenger opens my yahoo email accounts in firefox, some accounts open fine and others have no grapics and only show on the left side of the screen

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
