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.

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 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.

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 Apple Mail retrieving Yahoo Mail (OS 10.10-Yosemite)

I recently installed Yosemite and Apple/Mac Mail will not work or retrieve my yahoo mail. I can receive my gmail just fine. I've checked all of my settings, used the "mail doctor", taken the account offline and then online again, rebuilt the mailbox and tried to synchronize the account. Nothing seems to work. Oddly enough the program seems to work intermittently (it worked for a few days when I first installed Yosemite then stopped retrieving my yahoo mail and again randomly over this past weekend, but is now back to not pulling any yahoo email). I can read my yahoo emails online just fine, fyi. I would love it if anyone had any suggestions.
PS: I've also downloaded another mail client, called Postbox, which retrieves my yahoo mail just fine, but the program is severely limited and very quirky (search function doesn't work well, difficult to view and arrange your email without it having problems, etc.).

jgallag/Larry:
I, too, have been having this problem with yahoo mail not loading into mac mail. It has been a persistent problem that I have had to close my mail program and reopen to get emails to come in - this was way before yosemite. But after upgrading to yosemite, I've had more troubling issues. I have 2 yahoo mail accounts, a primary account and a special use account. Right after loading the new upgrade, the special use account was unable to send emails via mac mail. I could send them from the yahoo server online, and from my iphone, but not from my laptop (mac air). Two days ago, emails stopped loading into the mac mail program primary yahoo account. I could send emails, but I could not receive them. I tried all of the things you also did and suggested, to no avail. I have found that shutting the system down and rebooting was enough in the past to "wake up" the yahoo account/mac mail account interface, but not this time. This time, it took moving the laptop to another state and another server to refresh the connection and permit emails to load (I headed out for a business trip today, and emails came in when I reached the hotel). I did not turn off my computer, just put it in sleep mode during the flight, but apparently a change of scenery is what it wanted. It would be nice if Larry or someone could either fix this problem or help us navigate through it more efficiently - two days is too long to not load any emails.

Syncing iphone calendar with yahoo mail

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to sync my iphone calendar with my yahoo calendar. I use att yahoo for my email and prefer to continue doing so. I have an old version of Outlook with no calendar. Short of buying a new version of Outlook for my computer, is there any solutions? I don't understand why this shouldn't be possible since I can get Yahoo mail on my iphone. Would Mobile Me do that?

Sjazbec, I have to disagree based on experience. Since activatingiCloud on my iPhone 4 (updated to IOS 5) and the mail app on my newiMac (running LION) last Tuesday, NONE of my email shows up in theyahoo inbox via the mail app on my iphone. ALL of my email is visiblefrom the yahoo website page through Safari. NONE of the mail sent frommy iPhone appears in the Sent folder on Yahoo.
Until last Tuesday, none of this happened with my iPhone 4.
Onmy iPhone, I went to Settings->iCloud and deleted my iCloud account(option available if you scroll all the way down) completely, andvoila, lo and behold, instantly, all my email since Tuesday magicallyappears in my inbox.
I admit it's likely I have noconcept as to how iCloud is supposed to work. Of course, I bought bothLion and IOS5 and neither came with any explanation.

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.

IPhone 5 won't synch Contacts with Yahoo Mail

I have Yahoo Mail and an iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.4.
I cannot get Contacts to flow from one to the other. In SETTINGS I have both iCloud & Yahoo! as Accounts. I disabled CONTACTS in iCloud.
For the Yahoo Account I have Mail, Contact6s, Calendars, Reminders and Notes all active (Green).
Does iTunes play a role in getting the Contacts to Synch?
I cannot get New Contact I enter into my iPhone to "flow" to Yahoo! and I cannot get New Contacts I enter into Yahoo! to "flow" to my iPhone.
NOTE: I'm askingon behalf of my Lady Friend who has the iPhone 5. I have an iPhone 4S & all works fine.

make sure you have the same email adresses with both devices and enabled. And make sure both icloud accounts are the sam and are enabled on both. You can check this by going to settings>icloud>and check the account and calendar is enabled on both devices

Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
What do I do?
iPad 2 latest OS.

A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. 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!

Having issues with Yahoo mail on ios4 on a 3GS

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Yahoo mail on their 3GS after the upgrade to ios4?? Keep getting an imap server error, but gmail works fine.

Same problem. I have two Yahoo! Mail accounts. One stopped sending mail, while the other was fine. (Both could receive, however.) To solve that, I deleted the problematic account from the phone and reinstalled it. It worked... until I synced by iPhone with iTunes. Now both Yahoo! Mail accounts will not work, and deleting them and reinstalling them does nothing.
Apple had better fix this. (Or I'll whine louder.)

Yahoo mail tips on iphone

Here are tips to troubleshoot yahoo sendmail issue.
(1) check the address field to see there is any typo. The typical typo in address is [email protected] where there is an extra "n" at the end.
(2) please use your yahoo account name xxx to set up address as [email protected], not your yahoo alias ??? as [email protected]
(3) if your yahoo email address is yahoo international domain, please enter full email address like [email protected] or [email protected] . The version 1.1.3 iphone allows you to enter any format yahoo address other than [email protected] .

Well, I've also been dealing with this strange problem of being unable to make Yahoo Mail work on my iphone. I've never had any problems until last Friday 3-27-09. I changed my password, I've attempted setting up Yahoo Mail on another iphone. Symptom does not change. At first, my account would authenticate, but then when I would go in to check in Mail, message would appear saying my password was incorrect. One thing I've also noticed, and I'm wondering if these problems correlate in some way, is that my Yahoo Messenger application on my desktop computer is also exhibiting the same sign-on problem. I really think this may be a Yahoo issue. But I've been in contact with one of their support bot's. They stated on a previous email that this is a known issue with Messenger. For my Iphone problem, they just redirect me to some general mobile Yahoo website that is pretty much useless to me. I've troubleshooted this issue enough to be confident that it is more complex and that it's not me entering in the wrong password and that it is not an Iphone settings problem. I opened a new Yahoo email ID, and was able to set it up successfully on the Iphone. It seems to me that some accounts may be affect and may not be a global "Yahoo Server" problem. Any other tips or advice would help here....

HT201320 I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account?

I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.
