Trouble setting up yahoo mail on new iPhone5

I've tried several different times to set up my yahoo mail on my new iPhone 5, however it keeps telling me the server is unavailable or that my password is incorrect. I've tried adding it as "other", restarting my phone, etc. I do not have wifi access at this moment, oh and speaking of, it wont let me on my wifi at home either............
Anyone know any tricks to make this work?

its happening to everyone, i guess yahoo is struggling to keep up with all us apple folks and our iphone 5's

Having trouble setting up e-mail on new iPhone 4s. I would like to sync with my outlook mail, contacts

I am having trouble setting up my email and syncing my outlook calendar wiht my new iphone 4s.

How do you connect to the internet?
Most of the time, the problem lies here. You can try a couple of things. First, try only 3G or carrier data. Then, try only wifi. If that still doesn't work, your only other option is to try a different hotspot.
I had the same problem before when I updated to iOS 4.3. I thought it was the update at first. I usually have the carrier data turned off because my plan doesn't have an unlimited provision for it. I forgot that I also switched ISPs from DSL to a visibility unit package - meaning I had to setup my laptop so that I could get wifi from it. I realized this when I visited a friends house that I knew I could connect properly before.
My problem was with my laptop. It seems that Little Snitch blocks the ports being used for mail and push notifications. I haven't figured it out exactly since I still can't get email when I'm using my laptop connection. But, it works fine when I'm using ONLY 3G or both/wifi only if connected to a different hotspot.
Hope that helps.

When you set it up, under settings, Add Account but don't select "yahoo!" select "Other" instead and then set it up...
Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
Username: full email address (example: [email protected])
Password: the password you login to Yahoo with.

Home page - whenever I open, it does not "refresh." When I go to yahoo mail, my "news" tab continues to show Jul 14th headlines, etc.

Home page is yahoo mail and news... it never refreshes... I'm looking for the option to refresh each time the web page opens. Thanks

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How do I set up yahoo mail on my iPad?

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S. I set up yahoo mail on both and have never had an issue. I recently got an iPad Mini. I've attempted to set up yahoo mail with the same settings I have on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. After several weeks and countless attempts, it still doesn't work. What's the secret?

From your home screen tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then select Yahoo.

TS4002 Trouble changing from Yahoo mail to iCloud mail

I use yahoo mail on macbook pro.. As the mail was repeatedly asking me to check my account password, i considered switching to iCloud mail with @me.com address. I set up the icloud mail account and was able to send and recieve mail from the icloud account. I was also able to forward the new inbox mail from yahoo to icloud.
However , i am unable to transfer my mail (roughly 400) in my Yahoo inbox to icloud inbox.
I tried selecting all the mails in Yahoo inbox and attempted Moving as well as Copying them to iCloud inbox. Both did not work.
Only a couple of mails (around 10) got transferred and nothing was happening. No error message is also shown.
When i tried to restart the mac, the mail does not shut down and after forcequitting it , a message popped up saying that the 390 mails could not be transferred.
Can any body help me with this....

You need to be more patient, you are moving your emails over the internet, it takes a while. Do it again and don't interrupt it this time.

Setting up Yahoo Mail on 5800 Music Express. A pro...

Hello all.
I just bought a 5800 Express Music and am very new to the world of mobile phones.
I have had a Yahoo Mail account for the last ten years and would like to be able to access it
throught the phone's email system.
This is what I've done:
In Settings Wizard, click Email Setup.
-Phone says "Allow application to use network to send or receive data?"
-I say "yes".
-Phone says "Testing network", then "Contacting email server".
-Phone gives me a screen with Yahoo, Gmail, Ovi etc.
-I click on Yahoo, then write my Yahoo email address.
-Phone says "Getting email settings", then "Unable to connect with the information provided. Please try again".
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Mark.

Setting up i mail on new mac

I'm trying to set up a mail account with i mail but I'm not having much luck.
I usually use yahoo mail and the account provided with my ISP but would like to have a mac account too.
When I try to sign up I see the screen that tells me I'l be guided throught the setup process..
I click continue , my name is displayed in the Full Name field.
Where do I get my user name? - I haven't signed up for a .Mac Account yet so I suppose this is why I can't access this.
But if I try to set up POP or Exchange account I can't sign in and not quite sure what to do. Do I use my yahoo mail as the e mail address? Do I set u a new one?
Puzzled but hopeful
Cheers

Hi wizbing
Not sure where you have got with this. It sounds like we have a similar situation - except I have configured my accounts. I have 3 or 4 with my ISP and I am currently using the .Mac mail on the trial basis (although will soon expire). And I have the free Yahoo one which I just leave on the browser.
Let's say for example you have BT. For me the easiest way to add my BT accounts to mail would be go to Mail, Preferences.
Click on Accounts. You get a column on the left for accounts, from memory there is a default mac one there, but I wouldn't swear to that. I have starred the info that is critical - where you need to get it right.
Click on the plus button at the bottom of the left hand column to create a new account. In the new window headed general info, you need to specifiy account type. It will probably be a POP account. For account description, you need to write something like my favourite BT account or whatever you want as this is not critical. Your full name will prob come as it does on mac, but you can change that as well to whatever you want to come up on emails that you send, eg Wizbing, or Howling Wolf, or John. Then your email address, *0870 [email protected]* whatever it is.
Click continue and move onto next window and complete the incoming server, eg pop3.bt.net (if you were using imap then you would have that as your incoming server). The user name will come up for you as it is the first bit of your email address, and then add your password which you are using for that account. Click continue, and the computer will check the connection to the pop server. If you've got something wrong it will tell you, eg if you have written popp3, it won't connect. If you've got it right, it will move onto the next window which is outgoing server. It will bring a mac one up by default, change that to smtp.bt.net, it should then bring up your user name again. I ticked the authentication box, add the password and it checks the connection to the smtp server.
You then get an account summary. Click continue and you should get conclusion a new account has been created. Flushed with your success you can then go on to create another account!
Seriously it is easy, although it took me some fiddling just because I was new to it and I happen to be using a European ISP (non-English speaking) so I was grappling with that as well. The key is to make sure you have got the two servers right, if you aren't sure, then obviously ring your provider to find them, and check it's a pop account. Sorry this has been long, but I wasn't sure how much you knew so thought it was easier to go through the whole process. I will be probably be barred from here now!

How to set up Yahoo Mail on ICS?

I'm using Neo V with stock ICS.
I wanted to use the default Email app to view my yahoo mails.
But whenever i try to sign in it shows this error
(SSL handshake aborted: ssl=0x626180: error during system call, Connection reset by peer)
And i dont know how to setup manually.
I remember when using Gingerbread I could use Yahoo mail without any errors. It was working flawlessly. I just had to sign in.
Now on ICS I can only use gmail but not Yahoo mail.
If anybody has faced the same issue or not, a reply would be helpful. Thank you all.
Neo V stock ICS 4.0.3 un-rooted

Welcome to the forum.
I don't know if this is a change in the software or if it's 'just' your phone's software you needs a repair.
Try to install a new email client and see if it works. K-9 Mail is a good one. Have a look at that app and see how it plays out and then let me know.

it should works, if you use the following parameters:

I'll bet you it will NOT work & even give you 10 to 1 odds that it will fail.
Yahoo won't relay your spam; which is why your messages will be rejected.
What is the difference between your message & a message from a spammer?
