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!

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"

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 />

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.

Go into your settings and remove the account. Add the account again with your new password.

I get an error message saying itunes could not sync mail accounts. because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. It asks that i close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone and sync again. Is it requesting that i delete my email accounts?

Yahoo/Flickr just WON'T LOAD on my iMac. Help!

Hey folks,
I'm the very proud owner of a new iMac. But I'm just getting my bookmarks sorted etc using Firefox - my Yahoo mail just won't load up. In fact, the site keeps crashing and half loading. And when I did get through to the mail, the main panel was missing so I couldn't see any messages.
I have re-started, tried using Safari... nothing. I am really baffled and getting a little angry about this!
Every other website is loading perfectly. So as Flickr is connected, maybe it's a problem on their side, but I'm not sure.
Anybody have any tips?

And, I used my housemate's PC - it worked fine on there.

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.

Cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4.

I cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4. The password does not have any special characters. On my PC there is no problem.
Also cannot configure Add Yahoo mail. I woould get a message, stating "Verification required. Log into your Yahoo! account at www.yahoo.com". when I attempt this I get "Invalid ID/Password".

Tried eveyrhting and this was the way that fixed it for me --
if you are having an issue adding the yahoo mail account on an iphone/ ipad / ipod.
In the app store download the yahoo mail app for iphone (it works on ipads and ipods as well.. but there's only an iphone version). After downloading it - open and sign in. It's likely it will say that your yahoo account is 'locked' due to suspicious activity - follow the prompts to unlock it.
Now add the yahoo account under the ipad mail settings.
It should work in the regular ipad, iphone, ipod mail application now.
Hope this helps

Yahoo! Mail Account Won't Add After Restore

After restoring my iPad through iTunes, my Yahoo! Mail account won't add back. When I restored, restoring from a backup crashed my iPad so I created a new one and lost all my data. I go to Settings > Mail Contacts And Calendars > Add Account > Yahoo! I type in all my data, I know the password is correct because I can log in on Safari. I tap the next button and it presents me with the error dialog "Server Unavailable, please try again later." I must have tried this 20+ times. I've waited for weeks and it has been to no avail. Please help.

I found out that older Yahoo! accounts no longer work on iOS devices. You'll have to update to the latest version of Yahoo! mail. Unfortunatly, some people (including me) can't update to the latest version at this point in time. It's understandable because I've had m Yahoo! account since 1998. Maybe they dropped support for updating?
This discussion is now closed.

2 yahoo mail accounts, but only 1 will notify my iphone of mail, or even update the inbox at all.

I have 2 yahoo mail accounts. One of them updates to my iphone every time I get a message, the other one does not. In fact, the other one will not load new messages at all. I have deleted the account from my phone and reactivated it. I have updated to iOS 6.1.1 (from iOS 5). I have turned it on and off again. I have made certain push notifications are ON and Fetch is set to 15 minutes. Any other solutions out there?

Delete the account and start over.

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...
