Problem with yahoo! SMTP POP server mail account on new upgraded iphone 4.3.5

PLEASE HELP!
I am a California AT&T wireless customer with a new iphone 4 on the iOS 4.3.5 upgraded system and suddenly I am unable to successfully add my Yahoo! email account and have it configured to send/receive my emails.  I was able to successfully add my gmail and Microsoft exchange server account, but only problems with the Yahoo!  I checked all the settings, have done several add/delete accounts, restore network settings, and retry/reboots, to no avail.  This is a seriously annoying problem, it worked with the pre-upgraded older version fine without any problems ever.  I continually get the same error message:  SERVER UNAVAILABLE, please try again later.
I know this error is inaccurate because all my other email accounts work fine as well as Safari and all other internet connections and apps.  It is not a phone thing, it is some yahoo and upgraded software incompatibility issue that no one seems to have resolved yet.
This is a SMTP PUSH POP account, and I have literally tried everything.  I have tried all the fixes while connected to wifi, and then tried them just via my 3G cell network connection.  I read on a message board about turning on/off SSL, could someone tell me how to do that?  When I go into to:
settings>mail accounts>outgoing mail server SMTP>Yahoo! SMTP, everything is grayed out and I can't change any ports or SSL.
When I try to manually add a server, which I was told was a fix, I don't know what to type into the host name.  Does anyone know how to help?
I have seen this problems on numerous message boards, even in the UK.  I contacted Apple Support, with no success in resolving this problem, had an open case for several days contacted several supervisor personnel, all advised me to contact Yahoo! who do not offer customer care via telephone only online, and nothing there helped to resolve my issue.
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
THANKS

Yahoo's servers have been having problems off and on now for close to a month if not longer. There's not much you can do about it except talk to Yahoo, which is kind of like beating your head against a wall.  They've had problems like this off and on since as far back as the mid 90's. I gave up on them long ago. Just convert to something else and dump them. It's not worth the headache.

  • Problems with installing a GMX-E-Mail account on a Blackberry Q10

    Hi everyone,
    since days I got a problem with installing a german GMX-E-Mail account on my Blackberry Q10. If I try the "automatic" installation by just putting in my E-Mail adress and password, it says, that my E-Mail adress or password is wrong - which it clearly isnt! Bizarrely installing a different GMX-E-Mail account wasnt a problem. It was only this one special account.
    Neither GMX, nor O2 (my mob provider/operator) could help me - everyone said its a problem with the other company.
    Today I figured the problem out by myself and I guess its a Blackberry problem:
    The password of my E-Mail account has a umlaut (means special letters, for example the a, u or o with 2 dots - ä, ü, ö, etc.) in it. Obviously you can put this umlaut in the form, but probably my Blackberry isnt able to send this umlaut to GMX correctly - since their server says the password is not correct. I changed my password. Now there is no umlaut in it anymore. Now everything works perfectly.
    Just wanted to write it down here, in case someone else has this problem or Blackberry wants to fix it
    kind regards
    Christian

    Not sure if it will help, but if you just try and edit one of your current mailboxes, and change the box name and manually change all the details, that may work ?

  • Problems with authenticated smtp on Mac mail 2

    I do support for a small ISP and we are seeing problems with Mac Mail authenticating to the smtp server. The settings that should work are:
    outgoing server: asmtp.gorge.net
    Username: full email address
    Outgoing server port: 2525 or 587
    We typically turn on password for the authentication type. In some customers, nothing seems to work. They get an error that their email address can't authenticate. Any ideas on what settings might work for this?

    Teri,
    Reading the guidance for Outlook Express, I note:
    "Step 11. On the Servers tab under Outgoing Mail Server, check the box titled My server requires authentication. Then go to the Advanced tab. Below select the option use same settings as incoming server. (emphasis added)"
    In Mail, this is normally the same as specifying authentication of None, and not entering the Username or Password again for the Outgoing Server. This type of authentication, does not result in appending the Username entry (Username corresponds to Account Name in Outlook Express). Mail will authenticate to the SMTP with the Username and Password used for the Incoming, if prompted by the server, and the separate, hard, (and redundant) authentication resulting from using Password in the Outgoing Server entry boxes will cause a failure. However, this type of authentication (which is often called SMTP after POP3, or POP3 before SMTP) is normally conducted on Port 25. In my experience, the use of Port 587 is meant for those SMTP that must have a separate authentication, and where you will see the name altered to include the Username. Hopefully this will work with Port 2525, but I have not confirmed. SMTP after POP3 authentication does not help sending from remote providers, such as found in internet cafes, and this is why some ISPs provide a SMTP that does require separate, Password Authentication.
    In the new Mail Setup Assistant, there is now the option to specify to use the same settings, but not enter the Username and Password -- this is not obvious, but well known by some ISPs, but not all -- this is really the same as changing to None in an existing account, and removing the Password and Username entries. Also, in Mail, I would NOT expect any default names to appear, unlike what your Mac Mail instructions imply.
    Keep me posted.

  • Having problem with gmail smtp server.  Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send.  What do I do?

    Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server.  Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send.  I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server."  What do I do?

    Confirm you did this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
    You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.

    With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad.

  • Is anyone having problems with Yahoo mail please ?

    Hi,
    I am having problems with yahoo mail.  I have to log in and out a few times before the inbox will open.  Having eventually got in, it fails to delete. 
    So I'm asking if others are experiencing similar problems please ?

    Hi,
    This problem seems intermittent.  It was working OK earlier this morning but now I can't open emails, I'm getting the following error message "We’re sorry, but there appears to be a problem loading the email".
    If I try forwarding the message to an alternative email address, as suggested on the Yahoo community forum, I get this error message "Yahoo Mail is having a problem retrieving the original email for reply or forward."
    Has anyone got a fix, or even a workaround please ?
    Can the mods help with this ?
    Best regards,

  • Problems with yahoo mail on Mail

    Hello
    I have configured Mail (Lion ) to get my mails from yahoo mail. It gets all my mails but the gear won't stop moving as if it is receiving mail. I have tried sending mails to myself and I get them, but it won't stop.
    After a while a window opens and asks me for the password, I write it down but then again another window opens and asks for the password again and again.
    I choose cancel and then nothing happens
    And I'm still on the same loop.
    Anyone can give me a suggestion?
    Thank you

    Yahoo Mail has been down for certain times yesterday and also today Tuesday June 19, 2012.
    There is a website called Down for Everyone or Just Me that you can check to see if there is a disruption.
    I have been having problems with Yahoo lately, also.
    They are having so many problems that it is almost not worth using.
    I rely on Road Runner lately.

  • Pop 3 mail account

    can anybody help me? i've set my mail up and its been working fine for around three months but now when i go into mail it keeps saying for no reason my pop 3 mail account has rejected my password. i havn't changed any settings . thanks in advance. JB
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If you're getting those pop-up alerts that say you need to re-enter your password, I get them too. I think it's a problem with the mail server, not your computer.

  • POP E-mail account password

    My POP mail account is not working. I've had this computer a long time and I intend to get a new one
    because it's so out of date but in the mean time I need to get this problem fixed. The problem is with the
    password. I NEVER had to type it in. It was always in there in mail preferences/accounts (all in asterisks*****)
    For reasons I can't figure out, the password is no longer there. In keychain access there is no
    indication of any mail account and password.When I click on "get mail" I get a prompt that asks for
    a password. I have no idea what it is! My e-mail server is Time Warner Cable. They have no idea
    what I'm talking about. I opened a g mail account just so I can do some e-mailing but I hate the format
    and I want to continue to send and receive e-mails at my POP account and Time Warner e-mail address
    as I have many business cards with that address on it. How can I fix the Pop e-mail account password
    problem? Should I contact Apple and pay to ask them a question? I'm really perplexed. Even though
    "mail" is not in my keychain access list, I tried to look at other passwords for other things and a prompt
    asks me for a "keychain access password". I never had one! But that's a different issue. For now I'll settle for
    a solution to my POP password problem.

    Thank u for your suggestions. I'm the only one who uses this computer but I do have another mail account with g-mail which I only opened after the POP account failed. I repaired the keychain access to no avail but it did say that there was "no problem" with the chain. I reset the chain and I still can't send or receive e-mails from my POP account. I called Time Warner cable and they said they thought there could be a problem on their end and they
    were checking it out. But the problem remains that even if they fix the problem that is rejecting my e-mail password, I now have no e-mail password to type in. It used to be saved in Preferences and now it's no longer there. If I can't retrieve the password from somewhere (it's not on my keychain access list) I don't know how to get the password or create a new one. As a result of resetting the keychain I now have a keychain access password. But there's no POP account or any mail app in the keychain list to use it with.

  • Sync problem with Yahoo! Address Book

    In iTunes I selected the option to have my iPhone contacts list synced with my Yahoo! Address Book. I have added some contacts directly into my iPhone. When I then subsequently sync'ed my iPhone with iTunes, those contacts disappeared I added through my iPhone disappeared. But if I add the contacts online in my Yahoo! Address book, those contacts sync fine with my iPhone. How do I get my iPhone to sync properly with my Yahoo! Address book?

    I ahve the same problem, I had to re-intall the OS on my phone and since then both of my Rogers email account are refusing to let me access the CARDDAV.
    When I try to add the CARDDAV I get the following error : At This Time Your Contacts Account Can`t Be Added. Please Try Again Later
    I have been trying daily for the past two weeks with no success, and the same thing is happening on the PlayBook (I tried to change the password on the accounts to see if it would solve the problem)

  • Problem with replies in Maverick's mail.  Originating emails send fine.  When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent.  Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc.  Any suggestions would be helpful

    Problem with replies in Maverick's mail.  Originating emails send fine.  When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent.  Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Mid 2013 iMac.

    I don't know how rare this is.  I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur.  Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on.  Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
    This is a show stopper.  If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
    UPDATE:  The problem comes and goes.  The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds.  Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming.  I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

  • TS3276 My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped working on my iMac.  Connection doctor states that my connections are OK.  Help.

    My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped receiving new mail.  I have deleted the account and reinstalled but after receiving a few new e-mails it has stopped working again.   I cannot delete mail and my 'sent' box is empty.   I can access Yahoo mail via the web but would like to continue using Mail.  What setting should I use (my son had a look at the problem and may have altered some specs).   Connection Doctor indicates I am connected OK.  Any suggestions?

    well, everything appears to have resolved itself. Let me put this down in case it is of use to other iphone/gmail types.
    1. apparently I must have had either a lot of different computers/devices accessing gmail at the same time and it locked me out. As sailman says above, what precisely is locked out is a mystery, but in my case it was my pc/outlook, my apple mail 4.1 and my iphone. Web access worked fine
    2. when i ran the https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha command I had to do it on both my pc and my mac and eventually they came back up. The iphone was last, and took at least 24hours
    3. one thing that google doesn't communicate well is that you can sync your contacts and calendar by setting the iphone up via an exchange account, i.e. http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740 . Then you need to set up mail separately by adding it as an "other" type of account - i.e http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77702

  • Proxy problem with Yahoo search returned links

    We have two BM servers here. Older one Netware 6 sp5 w/ BM 3.7 sp3 that works well. A replacement that I have had up but not currently using much Netware 6.5 SP8 w/ BM 3.8 sp5. The latter one has a problem with Yahoo search results. If I point a workstation to the older NW6 BM it works fine in Bing, Google & Yahoo. If I point it to the NW6.5 BM then it will work fine in Bing and Google but in Yahoo it will return the results but when you click on any link there I get this message:
    Yahoo!
    Yahoo! - Help
    The requested URL was not found on this server.
    Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo! home page or look through a list of Yahoo!'s online services. Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below.
    Any ideas? I have no access rules enforced. Anything that might be of help would be greatly appreciated.....Thank you!

    settings like persistent connections.
    2. Compare both traces, the working one and the non working one. See if
    the returned link from yahoo is the same on both traces and it is coming
    from the same server. You may have another firewall/router up in the
    path causing the issue.
    3. Before taking the lan traces on the netware server using pktscan.nlm,
    unload proxy, load proxy -cc to clear cache. Then take the traces and
    see at what point the non working one differs from the working one.
    check that info is coming from the same up server
