Trouble syncing yahoo mail

When trying to add a yahoo mail account to my iphone 4, I keep either getting a message that I need to provide a password, but when I do, during the verification process, another message popps, asking me to log in to my yahoo mail on my PC first, and then access yahoo on my iphone. I am logged in my yahoo mail on my PC, tried logging out and then back in, but nothing seems to work - I get the same messages all the time. Also, while trying to access yahoo mail through safari on the iphone, I also get an error message asking me to log in through my PC. What do I do?

Hey Jaybird,
iTunes will sync Yahoo! contacts to the iPhone, not calendars or notes.
+You can also sync contacts with your Yahoo! Address Book+ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

  • Trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari

    Recently began having trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari.  I am continually asked to upgrade my Safari to a newer edition; however, when I do a software upgrade check it tells me I have the latest edition.  Anyone else having this trouble?

    Your OS is way out of date and thus your version of Safari and Firefox are too. It would be wise to update Tiger using the combo update found here:http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
    Then you can further update Safari to it's current version using Softwareupdate from the Apple menu.
    You can also use Firefox Help menu to update to it's current version.
    To be safe run Disk Utility's repair disk function from your original install disk and repair permissions before and after the update from your boot disk.
    Good Luck,

  • Having trouble receiving Yahoo mail on iPhone 6 sending mail is no problem?

    Having trouble receiving Yahoo mail on iPhone 6 sending mail is no problem?

    Any chance you use two step verification on your Yahoo account? If you've ever had to enter a code that was text messaged to you when you log into your Yahoo account on a new computer, then two step verification is probably on.
    If that is the case, you'll have to generate an app specific password in the Yahoo web mail page and enter that as your password on your Apple Device instead of your standard password in Mail Settings.

  • Cannot sync Yahoo mail

    I have 3 e-mail accounts and had no trouble syncing my g-mail and outlook e-mail accounts, but for some reason I cannot sync my yahoo verizon.net to my new Nokia 822.  I have tried multiple times and the only way I can see my yahoo mail is to log on via the web browser and pin this site to the start menu, but there has to be a way to add this account via e-mail settings.  Any help with this would be appreciated!

    Do it manually then
    Go to Settings > Emails and Accounts > Advanced Setup > Internet email account
    Scroll down and follow the instructions for Manually Advanced Setup
    http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/people/set-up-or-delete-an-email-account
    For Incoming email server type in pop.mail.yahoo.com
    For Outgoing (SMTP) email server *- smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Everything else should be self explanatory
    btw after step 3 it will ask for SSL authentication. Check mark for both

  • Trouble with Yahoo Mail in setting up new computer

    Hi.
    I'm having this issue getting a new Mac set up with a Yahoo account. I already have another machine set up with a yahoo account in the Mail app working just fine. Then, I'm setting up a new laptop and I used Mobile Me to sync the new computer with the old computer's Mail accounts. One of them is a Yahoo account. When, after a long time setting up, the new machine can only get Yahoo mail up to a certain date. Any new mails will not be downloaded to the new machine. I can't figure out how to get these newer messages onto the new machine. I have Yahoo set to keep all messages. This is the first time I've had this issue. I'm afraid to delete the account on the new machine for fear of Mobile Me syncing to the older machine and deleting the account on it.
    Anyone have any thoughts?
    Antonio

    Since a Yahoo account can be created and accessed as a POP account only with the Mail.app on your Mac, it shouldn't matter if you delete and manually recreate the account with the Mail.app on your new Mac. This will not affect all received messages that remain on the server even if the account is deleted with the Mail.app on your other Mac, which I don't beleive it will. You can temporarily disable syncing with your MobileMe account on the other Mac before deleting and manually recreating the account with the Mail.app on your new Mac and then re-enable syncing with MobileMe on the other Mac after doing so.

  • Help!  Syncing yahoo mail to mac mail

    trying to sync mac mail to ymail. not sure how to fill out all the fields for "add an account". do i use "pop" or "imap" for incoming and how do i fill out field? do i use smptauth, etc for outgoing and (again) how exactly do i fill out field boxes? i was synced to earthlink for a few years, but now am on satellite wildblue and using free yahoo mail. any help gratefully appreciated - all i keep getting every time i attempt to set this up is "ymail server not responding" etc. so i figure i'm doing something wrong! also - i have NOT deleted my earthlink account settings yet.

    You can't. Yahoo Plus only offers POP access. To do what you want, you'll need an email provider who offers email via IMAP.

  • Syncing Yahoo Mail and Mac Mail

    I upgraded to Yahoo Mail Pro in order to use my Yahoo Mail through Mac Mail. When I delete an email through Safari/Yahoo, Mac Mail does not reflect that. How can I sync the two so that what I do in one occurs in the other? Further, for some reason all but four of my emails got deleted out of my Safari/Yahoo account. How the heck did that happen?

  • Cannot sync yahoo mail on htc one M8

    I just got my htc one m8 and I'm trying to get everything setup. I've set up my other email accounts on exchange but when I try to sync my yahoo mail it does not work. I enter my user/pass and it says checking account settings... Then after a minute or so I get a message that says Cannot connect to the remote server. Please check the network settings and then try again.
    To be clear, I'm on wifi and my network is working fine for everything except this. Any ideas what may be causing it?

    looks like a quick google search solved my issue. You have to set it up manually. The server address and port #'s are wrong by default. If anyone else has the issue you can follow these instructions.

  • Trouble with Yahoo Mail when using Tiger

    Since yesterday I am not able to sign into Yahoo Mail when I have the
    Keep me signed in check box checked,
    but it will let me sign in, if the check box is NOT checked.
    What it does is return to the login screen instead of going to Yahoo Mail.
    This action is same if I use different web browsers.
    So I conclude that it is a change at the Yahoo end.
    I am wondering if anyone else has this same problem.
    (I do plan to give feedback to the Yahoo web site)

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, I have cleared all cookies and reset Safari, several times.
    I just discovered that having that box checked does NOT prevent me from
    logging into e-mail, when using Firefox web browser, version 3.6.19
    I was wrong to have made the statement about different browsers, in my previous posting.

  • Trouble with yahoo mail "pushing" to iphone 4s

    Has anyone else had problems with their yahoo mail account "pushing" to their iphone 4s?  This problem has been happening off and on for about 2 months now.  Had an appointment with the genius bar at apple, tech wiped out the phone and told me to restore at home.  Said it should fix the problem which it did for about a week.  She said if it started happening again, it was probably the phone.  Went back last week and upgraded to 4s.  Mail worked for about 3 hours - hasn't worked since.  Tried deleting the account, restarting iphone, deleted majority of emails from inbox/trash/sent.  Nothing has worked.  It won't even fetch at the established times (15, 30, 1 hour).  Contacted yahoo mail also who said they had been advised on the problem and are "working on it"  Anyone have any experience with this?  Any help welcomed!

    I have the same issue iphone 4s with iOS 5.0.1.
    There is another thread here - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3378671?start=75&tstart=0. Seems like quite a few others have the same issue.  I also read in this or another forum that the push can be easily restarted by opening up the multitask bar (double click) and then close the mail app and then restart it. You can also do power down the phone and then start it up. Apparently the mail app needs to be running in the background. It seems that swithcing between wifi and 3G or a screen lock may have something to do with it (but I can't confirm this).
    Nice to know Yahoo is working on it.

  • TS3899 Trouble updating yahoo mail

    Both my iPhone 4S and IPad mini have stopped letting me update yahoo mail, any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks in advance, Sarah x

    If you have two-step verification turned on in your email account, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

  • Trouble syncing e-mail between my Droid X and Laptop

    I am having trouble with my e-mail either showing up on my Droid X and not my Laptop or visa/versa? They are the same e-mail acct. with Frontier.com. There does not seem to be any consistent pattern? Any suggestions?
    Sincerely;
    Kent

    Could you give any more details?  When you check your email on your laptop, are you using a browser or a dedicated email program? How did you set your email account in the phone?
    One situation that can happen is that when you get an email, it sits on the server waiting for you to access it.  Once you do it gets downloaded and taken off the mail server.  If you are using two programs this way (in this case your phone's email app and your laptop's email software) then which ever accesses and downloads the email first will be the one with it in the inbox and the other won't be able to retrieve it since it's no longer on the server.  In this case you would need to find an option somewhere in both programs to "leave a copy on the server" when retrieving mail.
    If you usually check your email through your web browser on your laptop and your phone is set to sync with that inbox, then you have some other problem.  You should send some questions to Frontier.com and see if you can get some help from them.

  • I am having trouble with yahoo mail, very slow to send never used to be this way started before iOs5 update

    I am having trouble with mail, yahoo has started to have a problem sending, slow or not at all started before latest update, help

    I noticed this at one point and what I did, which worked, was to delete the mailbox from my iPad, then reinstall it.  Give it a try and see if it helps you as well.

  • Trouble using Yahoo mail accounts on iPad

    Hello,
    I posted to another community as well, and we are working on this with no luck so far:
    I have yahoo based e-mail accounts.  I have them set to keep e-mails on server until I manually delete.  This works on my computer and iPhone, but not on the iPad mini.
    If I first open the e-mails on the iPhone or computer, then I can still see them on both of those devices, and the iPad.  BUT if I open them first on the iPad, they never arrive on the iPhone or the computer. 
    The iPad is automatically set up with IMAP.  I'd like to skip using iCloud if possible.
    Any suggestions?

    so the pad is using the yahoo account as an i map account.  And yahoo is an imap service.  Sounds like you have they phone and computer set up to use it as a pop account.  I think you need to go one way or the other.
    try this - write down all of your yahoo settings on the pad for furutre use.  then delete the account from the pad.
    Add a new account, but do not use the yahoo button, use the other button.  Enter your yahoo credentials, and I believe at some point it will ask you if you want imap or pop.  Choose pop, if that is what you want.
