Problem accessing Yahoo email thru Mozilla; no problem with accessing it thru IE

I go to Mozilla browser, clk on Yahoo, clk Yahoo mail, get a drop down sign in window, sign in my email ID and password, then I get a drop down "Verification: code window; I type what I see but it is not accepted.
I go to Google, clk Yahoo email, my email opens up, no problems at all. I prefer Mozilla Forefox but this is a real problem.

Try removing the CARDDAV, CALDAV and email account that are related to the Yahoo account, reboot the phone, and then just use the wizard, and re-create the accounts

I cannot open older yahoo emails that I already read with firefox, I can read them if I use IE. How do I fix this?

In my yahoo emails while using Firefox I cannot open up older saved emails that I already read. My computer hangs up and says unresponsive. At that point I can only shut down Firefox through task manager due to pc freezing up. I tried IE and I was able to open older emails. I tried clearing cookies, cache, etc. Any ideas on how to fix?

Yahoo email problem?

Hi - I have a Curve 8900 running v4.6.1.231
I am on an Enterprise Data plan, with emails synched up to both my office outlook email, and my personal yahoo email. At around 11:30 yesterday, my yahoo email stopped sending/receiving/synching with my BB, but my office outlook email is working fine.
I tried to go into Email setup with the setup wizard, to see if maybe I had to delete and re-add my yahoo email account, but after about 60 seconds with a load message "connecting to email settings" I got a message that said "Your devide had a problem connecting to the server" with retry and cancel button - I retried with no avail.
Not the most tech savvy person here, but was wondering if this is a problem on my end? Or something on the BB side? Any ideas on how to correct would be most appreciated!
Sandy

Hmmm...that's a choice you will have to make. Here's why...when you use the PC/Web interface to BIS, you must create credentials for your BIS account so that, when you log in via PC/Web, it can authenticate you to the proper BIS account. Credentials aren't needed via the device interface to BIS since you are connecting from the device. But, once you use the PC/Web interface and create credentials, you will also have to thereafter also use them on the BB itself. But, it should offer you a "remember me" checkbox so that you only have to enter those credentials on the BB the first time you use it after creating the credentials.
Honestly, if you don't think you'll ever again want to connect to your BIS account via PC/Web, then you are probably just as well now calling your carrier. They can just as well send the Service Books (once you get through their call queue, of course!).
Good luck!

Not able to access desktop version of Yahoo email ...

I have been trying to access Yahoo email thru the Browser on the Lumia 800 phone. Every time I access the www.mail.yahoo.com website and enter my login name and password and submit, I repeatedly get the same page again and again which asks me to verify my password. There seems to be a software error in the Lumia 800. I have contacted the Nokia helpline which was unhelpful as usual. This time, they informed me that this error IS possible while accessing Yahoo email thru the browser and that no solution is possible. The only suggestion they had was to use the synchronization method to access the Yahoo mailbox - but this solution is not feasible for either accessing the older emails and or for sending file attachments.

Hi Smart_Xplorer,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
I was able to access my Yahoo account using the desktop version of their service, the only error message I got was that the screen size was smaller than they recommend, but I still got through to the mailbox. So, check your browser settings, especially that you allow cookies on your phone and that your preferred website version is desktop. Also, delete your browsing history in case some old cookies are causing trouble.
As for the disadvantages of using the synchronisation method, it is only possible to add attachments in the synchronisation method as IE9 does not allow you to upload files (thus add attachments via the web interface). When you set up the synchronisation, you can set Download email from to any time, which should fetch most of the emails from your mailbox.
Hope this helps!

Problem with iPad3 gmail.

Just got the iPad3 and having the problem to set up the gmail account. No problem in setting up yahoo email.
I have done with enabling imap and also POP. Entered email addresses to both smtp and imap and also password.
The feedback is always something like wrong password in imap or wrong setting with Gmail?
I have not use any mobile devices to access my gmail before and could this be the possible that gmail did not enable my account a mobile device to access? I seen the setting that one of the mobile device is iPhone available.

Had the same problem with my iPad 3 and gmail....problem ended up being that I had the 2 part verification turned on for google/gmail.
Here's a link to a video made by google that describes how to generate and then enter an "application specific password" for your iPad...once you have this password, you can use the included gmail set-up and simply enter the long password that has been generated into the password field when setting the profile up and it will do the rest for you and should work.
Note the video starts at 2:13 because that's the relevant part

Netgear WGR614v6 Problems with Ebay and others-Help!!

Just put in a Netgear WGR614v6 router and I can connect to the internet thru my 2-wire DSL modem (non-gateway1070-b).
First issue was that any email I sent out-bound from Mac Mail that had an attachment would just sit in my outbox, I then disabled the SPI firewall on the Netgear router and all worked fine.
The I went on to do further testing and found out that I can launch into ebay and ebay will only let me do one sign/in and or search then I will get a 'THE CONNECTION WAS RESET" page saying that "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
Also when I access my SBC/Yahoo email thru the web, I can log onto my account and read my first or any one message, but then when I go to view a second the same thing happens as with ebay.
Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on.. is this a port 25 thing? All works fine when connected directly to the DSL modem.
Thanks in adavnace for any help you may have.

G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Figured it out, had to bridge by DSL modem and use the router as my DHCP server. All is working fine now.

Where has my BT-Yahoo Email gone?

I know it's all changing over to BT-Mail soon, but the other day I tried to log into my BT-Yahoo email only to be greeted with this message:
Sorry
There isn't a BT Yahoo! Mail service associated with the username/email
address you've entered.
But when I check what email service I'm using here - http://diagnostics.bt.com/login/?workflow=EmailChecker it tells me 'BT-Yahoo'
Does anyone know how I go about retreving my email address/inbox? I'd like to set it up so I can use it for a select few people to email me, as my Yahoo mail inbox is 'Spam City' and I'm thinking of closing it!.
Thanks

Problem accessing YAHOO Email folders on Z10 device

Hi everyone.
There seems to be a problem in problem accessing the folders on yahoo email accounts using z10 device.
I am able to send and receive the email properly using the z10 device. saving drafts are also working fine. But I am unable to access all email that were saved to yahoo folders before my transition to blackberry z10.
I am able to move any email from my inbox to an existing folder under yahoo. and move it back to inbox if required.
But when I try to access a mail that were saved to yahoo folders before my transition to blackberry z10, the following message appears "No enteries in this view". I did mention all folders to sync.- but the systems seems not to be doing that way.
Two scenario's possible:-
1. All folders are not geting sync.
2. Date/ timing issues (restriction) on certain folders coming in picture by default.
Would appreciate if someone could respond how to solve this issue or just forward by the z10 -support email id. plz
Thanks
PG

When doing my Yahoo email, I continuosly get a message to sign in again. Yahoo claims it isn't their problem, and says it's a problem with Mozilla.

The request to sign into Yahoo again appears every few minutes, sometimes every few seconds, while in Yahoo email. Yahoo gave me some suggestions that did not rectify the situation and referred me to Mozilla. In the meantime, I changed my default browser. I would rather stay with Mozilla. What can I do?

May I ask you another question? I have another problem when doing Yahoo email while in Mozilla Firefox. The size of the font continually changes while I'm typing an email, especially if it is a reply. Also, if I type in an email address in the body of my email, the following words are underlined despite my efforts to unclick the "underline" command, and they are blue like the email address, once again despite my effort to change the font color. The screen is very jerky, too.
Any ideas?

I am having a problem accessing my Yahoo email account. It keeps saying, cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed. Then I put my email in settings and it works but this happens constantly. Anyone having this problem?

My Yahoo email asks me daily for my email password or says the connection to the server failed. Is anyone having this problem currently? I noticed old messages in chat mentioned the same problem. I get into my Yahoo email fine on my desktop computer for several weeks without re entering a password. But the IPad does not seem to be connecting daily with Yahoo without putting a password in again.

So, I didn't change anything and now it is working better. I still get the odd error though.
I have a feeling this has something to do with the SSL update Apple released and it was their server side.

I am not receiving my yahoo email on both my IPhone 6 and IPad Air. I tried deleting the account and reinstalling but still not receiving email. I can access email if I go thru Safari to the yahoo mail page.

I am not receiving yahoo email on my IPhone 6 and IPad Air, both are iOS 8.2. I can only access email by going thru Safari to the yahoo mail page. I tried to delete the yahoo account on the phone and reinstalled, to no avail. Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

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!

Yahoo Mail push problem with stock email app

It is nice to see that Verizon is offering push services for yahoo mail (and possibly for others as well, I only tried yahoo) on select phones now, the Droid Charge being one of them. If you add a yahoo account in the stock email app, it configures it through "Verizon email gateway server" and the messages will be pushed to the phone just like gmail had been, and you will get your new messages almost instantaneously.
I previously had an htc incredible and that phone did not have that feature. My e-mails were being checked at an interval that I could select, but not pushed.
What this email gateway does is (as I understand it): 1) your phone sends your credentials to the gateway server where they are stored, 2) the server connects to yahoo mail servers with your credentials, and 3) whenever there is a new message, the gateway server retrieves and pushes it to your phone, in other words it pretty much acts as the middle man that has a notification capability. The gateway server only accesses your inbox folder and it only does incoming services. For other things such as sending messages or checking other folders, your phone connects to yahoo mail servers directly. My incredible on the other hand used to connect to yahoo mail servers directly for everything including inbox access and unfortunately those servers do not have the push capability to mobile devices.
I got the Charge over two weeks ago and enjoyed push on yahoo for about ten days. But then suddenly it stopped working. It would no longer update my inbox even when I selected refresh through the menu. If I went into other folders, they would update and I could send emails. However, my inbox would not update. I waited a day, then I went into settings/apps/manage apps and deleted the cache and data of the mail application to fix a possible glitch. (It works on the market app when all of your downloaded apps disappear from the list every once in a while due to a glitch)
I ended up with a blank inbox that couldn't download any of the messages. Then I removed the yahoo account and tried to readd. Now I get the "Fetching mailbox failed, retrying. . ." error and sometimes it retries for up to a half hour (until I manually stop it) or sometimes it says "Unable to connect to server" after a couple of minutes.
Following is a list of things I tried:
1) Set up a different Yahoo account:
Works without a glitch, push enabled
2) Try the original email account with wrong password:
Gives a credential error, so password authentication is not the problem
3) Manual configuration through selecting "Others" rather than "Yahoo Mail" in the add account menu:
Unchecking "Use Verizon email gateway" makes it work, but without push. My phone is able to connect to Yahoo servers directly with the same exact settings
I am pretty sure the problem is with the Verizon gateway server having a glitch with my email account. So someone in charge of that server has to go through the list of accounts set up and either reset or delete mine, so I can set it up again through my phone.
I called Verizon support the other day and finally talked to a level 2 rep after having to do the restart, take battery out and all that nonsense. It took them a while to understand the actual situation. It's not their fault really, my problem is complicated and a level 2 rep simply does not have that kind of knowledge. They tried to connect me to Samsung representatives, which was a waste of time, because there is nothing wrong with the hardware as it works with a different yahoo account with no problems, and it also works when connecting to yahoo directly. After spending two and a half hours on the phone, and after the rep talked to her supervisor and the samsung reps to learn more about the verizon gateway server, she finally told me I was right about the issue, and assured me that they would fix it and call me within two hours.
It has been two days, I haven't heard a thing.
What frustrates me is that there wasn't a single person there who could even grasp what could be causing the issue. They had never heard about the email gateway, I had to explain to them. I am not mad that the level 2 rep or her supervisor didn't know, but I am pretty **bleep** that they could not put me in touch with a person who did.
I know there is at least one person at Verizon who manages the gateway server, but the question is how can anyone contact him???
Verizon keeps offering these new services that are really cool for the most part, but their support system is very disconnected from their engineers/technical staff. The customer service is unable to fix problems other than billing issues, and their answer for everything else is to "take the battery out and restart the phone".
For now, I set up my account manually, without the Verizon email gateway, so I don't have "push" working. It's a shame because it is such an easy thing to fix only if I could get in touch with the right person.

UPDATE:
After waiting for about ten days, I tried setting up my e-mail the regular way (by selecting yahoo mail) again yesterday. To my surprise, it went through without a glitch. I guess the cache of the gateway server must have been reset.
I have been enjoying push for yahoo mail for the last 24 hours again. But I just noticed now, that the problems might be starting again. There are recent e-mails that don't show up on my phone, but do through yahoo's web mail page. When I select "refresh" through the menu on the phone, I see the circle in the top corner spinning for as long as I wait, but the e-mails don't get downloaded. That is exactly how my problems had started in the first place. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and wait and hope that it fixes itself.
There might be a compatibility problem with yahoo servers and the verizon email gateway because I have two gmail accounts set up with the stock e-mail the same way, both using verizon's gateway server for push, and they have both been working with no problems for almost a month. (Even though sometimes the "push" is delayed by up to 5-10 min, most of the time it is within a couple of minutes and that's fine, I'm not that picky) And when I do "refresh", ti only takes a few seconds to complete the request.
And I still haven't heard anything from Verizon.

Problems with my yahoo email account using Firefox

I am using Firefox 14.0.1 and I have problems with my yahoo email account. I send an email, the receiver got a good version of my email, but when I see the same email into my sent box I see a differente text. When I use any other Internet browser, I can see a good version of my original email into the sent box.
Why???
