Suddenly Cannot Access Yahoo Mail on iPhone

PROBLEM:
As of last night I cannot access my Yahoo mail on my iPhone.
iPhone 3G,
Version 4.0.1 (8A306)
Firmware: 05.13.04
Error message when I tried to access email: something about I need to enter my password. I went to settings > mail> accounts and entered what I KNOW is my Yahoo mail's password...
Error message: The username or password for "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect.
And yet the password and my username were correct.
I deleted my Yahoo mail account from the iPhone, tried to re-add the Yahoo mail account and I get the same error message: The username or password for "apple.imap.mail/yahoo.com" is incorrect.
WTH?

Same problem here. Any solutions?

  • Cannot access yahoo mail when using foxfire, IE works OK HELP

    When on the YAHOO page and I want to access my mail I get an error message with Foxfire, BUT NOT with IE

    Thanks but I still have the problem. I have no problem using IE to access Yahoo mail, but it just does not work with FireFox. At work I have a T1 line so I know the internet is not the problem. I do not have any problem with FireFox at home on my personal computer. This was a not a problem 1.5 weeks ago.

  • Suddenly cannot receive Yahoo mail in Apple Mail

    As of this past Monday, I can no longer receive any of my Yahoo mail thru the Apple mail client. I keep getting a message that tells me port 995 timed out (or 110, after I changed it/w/SSL on and off).
    I checked with Yahoo and the help was iffy (no big surprise there). We did some telnet tests and Yahoo said it was probably my ISP blocking port 995. I doubted that, but to be thorough, I contacted my ISP and ran some pings and we could get thru to the Yahoo IP address.
    I ran Mail on a separate computer and had the same issues, so it's not specific to one machine.
    I can send/get Yahoo mail via my iPhone (via WiFi) with no problems.
    I can SEND mail thru my Yahoo account via Apple Mail, with no problems.
    I installed Thunderbird and am currently downloading all the messages from my Yahoo account, with no problem. So, Thunderbird seems to be working.
    So, what I'm left with is wondering what suddenly happened to Mail that I can no longer download Yahoo mail. I've changed no settings since Monday. I've updated nothing in over a week.
    Why, suddenly, would Mail no longer download Yahoo?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tips too.

    I'm experiencing the same phenomenon. My yahoo mail is working flawlessly on my iPhone, however the Mail app is not connecting to the POP server. For the past two days I've had the triangle/exclamation icon next to my mailbox. I have an att.net mailbox account and don't have any issues sending and receiving mail. A pop-up asks if I want to take the account online and still to no avail. I've deleted the account and later added it with some success as it begins to fetch my 500+ messages still on the server. Minutes later I get the warning icon and again a pop-up asking to take the account online.
    Is anyone else experiencing this?

  • Cannot access yahoo mail on my intel mac pro

    hi i can access my yahoo email on my laptop using safari which is in power mac g4 but cannot do the same on intel mac pro can please someone suggest a cure?
    When i enter user id and password while using safari to access email on yahoo mail using my laptop i do not have any problems. However, when i repeat the same using my mac pro safari seems to get me into yahoo mail but asks me repeatedly for my password and does not get me into my mail box.
    Do i need to adjust my safari preferences or trash some files from the library? please help

    I have had this problem for 2 days, where my yahoo Inbox says it is updated, but hasn't, then gives me "Cannot connect to mail servier"  error message.  If I go to my various folders (other than inbox) they will all update. 
    Very frustrating.  All other email accounts work fine and only the inbox in yahoo seems to have this problem. 
    If anyone figured out how to fix this, then let us know.  Thanks
    I'll try yahoo support forum next and see if they have anything on this.

  • Suddenly unable las 36 hrs to access yahoo mail server on iPad and iPhone. What is going on, how to fix?  Have tried resetting mail accounts to no avail.

    Unable to access yahoo mail server on iPad suddenly last 36 hrs.  Can anyone assist?

    Hold off on purchasing stuff. I got my problem solved going through Apple Support for free. I'll try to walk you through this but bear in mind I've only done it once with an Apple Tech Support manager on line.
    Basically you have to clear your keychain. Go to Finder Menu, Select Go, select utilities, select Keychain Access
    Once you are in keychain access you may have to enter a password to unlock the keychain
    Once unlocked, select preferences and then reset my keychain.
    This is where I am fuzzy on what we did but as I recall that was all that was necessary with respect to the keychain access.
    Save the changes
    Go to the mail program, delete your existing account
    Add a new account
    De-select the option to automatically set up your account (VERY IMPORTANT)
    Enter your email account info for @me.com
    On the incoming mail server page
    Enter the account type as IMAP
    Enter the account description as iCloud
    Enter the incoming mail server to imap.mail.me.com
    on the outgoing mail server page
    Enter the account description as iCloud
    Enter the outgoing mail server to smtp.mail.me.com
    Check use only this server
    And your problems SHOULD be solved
    If I were you, before messing with the Keychain stuff I'd try editing the incoming and outgoing server address in the mail program first to see if that's a shortcut.
    Good luck!

  • I suddenly cannot access my aol E mail account. Says my username or password are incorrect which they are not. Has worked for ages and has now stopped. have reset the phone but the same message!! Frustrated. Martyn

    I suddenly cannot access my AOL E mail account via my iPhone. Has worked for ages. Now says username or passowrd is incorrect which it is not! Have reset the phone but still no joy. Any ideas........please! Martyn

    Is there any chance your AOL account has been hacked?  Check it to make sure your password is still what you think it is.
    Also make sure caps lock isn't on when typing your password.

  • I can't access my Yahoo mail on Iphone 4s over wifi at work. "Checking for mail" is going on forever. Any idea?

    I can't access my Yahoo mail on Iphone 4s over wifi at work. "Checking for mail" is going on forever. Any idea?

    You cannot change the incoming mail ports on the iPhone,  As KiltedTim mentions, if it works elsewhere on 3g and wifi, then it almost certainly is your employers firewall blocking access.

  • Suddenly can't access Yahoo Mail in Apple Mail

    I used to be able to access Yahoo Mail in my Apple Mail in Lion OS but all of a sudden, I cannot.  It just keeps on trying.  Did anyone else get this problem recently?

    There are some threads with this problem

    mine can be a bit intermittent but Yahho is better than the POP account from my webhost.

  • ICloud works on my iPhone but I cannot access my mail from my macbook.

    iCloud works on my iPhone but I cannot access my mail from my macbook. I keep getting a server error message;
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “iCloud” or try again.
    The server returned the error: The iCloud IMAP server “p03-imap.mail.me.com” doesn’t support External (TLS client Certificate) authentication. Verify your account settings and try again.
    I've done everything possible and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions.?????

    Have you tried to completely sign out of iCloud and then adding it back again? By the way, a software update to the latest version of OSX could also help to fix it (think about it, because Mavericks is a free upgrade).
