Weird Yahoo Email Problem on my iPhone

Okay, so I have been using my Gmail (IMAP) and another email account (POP) on my iPhone for the past few months with no problems... So I decided to add my Yahoo account (IMAP) onto my phone and now I have a weird problem with it, the inbox seems to be stuck. When you go into the inbox, it only shows the latest email (only the one if there are actually many emails in there) and I cannot access it. It's like split halfway on the screen. I know it still 'talks' to Yahoo, cause the message will change depending on what latest email I have is. And when you go out of the App, it shows a -1 on my mail icon. The other folders I have in my Yahoo account come over fine and I can access them normally, it is just my inbox itself that is all wonky.
I tried deleting the account multiple times and even adding it on as a POP account (which I ran into problems of not being able to send mail), but I really want the access to all my folders via the IMAP.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix it?!

You might want to reset your Yahoo! account by changing your Yahoo! password. Here are the instructions I received from Yahoo! customer service for a different issue that I had:
1. Delete the Yahoo! ID on currently on your iPhone.
2. Turn off your iPhone.
3. Sign in to Yahoo! with your PC and change your password. Many errors are caused by the way the iPhone encrypts some characters. Please ensureyour new password has no special characters (any character which is not a letter or a number, such as @ or *). This will reset our registration system and ensure that Apple treats your ID as a new connection.
4. Turn your iPhone back on.
5. Set up your Yahoo! Account on your iPhone using the "Yahoo!" option. Please make sure that you enter your new password when setting up the account.

IPhone/iPad yahoo email problems

My yahoo email was working fine on my iPhone 4s until a few days ago. Now it won't download my email anymore. Same thing on my iPad. I tried rebooting and that does not fix the problem. Just keep getting "connection to server failed" No problem with email on my computer which is not Apple. Any suggestions?

Again, same problem here.
I changed my Yahoo! password via laptop and subsequently both iPhone and iPad are not able to gain access to Yahoo! mail using the Yahoo! client pre-loaded into the mail settings on both devices. I've tried a hard reset of both devices to no avail and get the message 'Server Unavailable' after deleting and attempting to set up the accounta on both devices again.
Any help woud be appreciated, especially as (one would assume) the Apple devices should be able to receive Yahoo! mail simply given the specific Yahoo! option in the mail settings.

I am not receiving my yahoo email on both my IPhone 6 and IPad Air. I tried deleting the account and reinstalling but still not receiving email. I can access email if I go thru Safari to the yahoo mail page.

I am not receiving yahoo email on my IPhone 6 and IPad Air, both are iOS 8.2. I can only access email by going thru Safari to the yahoo mail page. I tried to delete the yahoo account on the phone and reinstalled, to no avail. Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

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.

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!

My Yahoo email sent from my iphone to myself shows up in spam folder

i wanted to send myself an email from my iphone, waited for an hour, but got nothing. after logging into my Yahoo Email account on my pc i found all my emails in my spam folder from myself.
Why am i spam? Will i be spam to anyone i reply or send mail to? This only happens from iphone, is there a way around this?

hello,
Just an FYI update on my post re: after update to version 2.0.2
my computer no longer sees my iPhone as if it were an external
HD as it had before update using version 1.1.4. Shortly after posting
this problem, I logged into my usual user acct, not the user name specified
with iTunes user acct, and although I had chosen the option of making
iTunes the default music player for iPhone acct, I hadn't indicated
the iTunes default with my usual surfing user acct. Anyway, just after
I posted and logged out of that acct and logged into my usual one
a dialog box opened unsolicited and asked if I wanted to make iTunes
the default for usual acct name. I said no thanks, and now on that user
acct I am able to copy photos from iPhone without sync process as if
the iPhone was an external HD as I could before. Now before I sync
Photos back into the iPhone using the iTunes user acct, i select
the photos I want and put them into the specific folders I have set
up inside the iPhone photos folder and tah da, the folders will have
The pics I want back on the iPhone in addition to the Camera Roll
folder. Still wish I could figure out why the orientation of pics sometimes
requires editing for correction. Knowing how to use a screen shot to
repair orientation has helped alot though. To be continued.

User Agent caused Yahoo email problems

I downloaded User Agent Switcher. I switched to iPhone and visited Yahoo email. Now I can't get email to go back to the original format even after switching User Agent back to default. Using Firefox 29.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.8.5. I had a similar problem with youtube and deleted my youtube cookies which fixed the problem but this has not worked for yahoo.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click History button, and then Clear Recent History... .
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Yahoo emails not working in iphone 5

Hi, I have just changed to Iphone 5 and I noticed that my yahoo emails are not working. I cannot save the yahoo password when I set up my yahoo email accounts in Iphone 5.
The error message says "Yahoo Server unvailable". Please try again later.
I tried to delete the yahoo account and add in again but still not working.
Please advise urgently.

It's not your phone... Yahoo is having issues right now with many of their users. I'm getting the same errors logging in from my PC.

How to get yahoo email to push in iPhone 4

For the past 3 weeks my yahoo email is not pushing on my iphone 4. I have tried soft reset and even deleted
my Yahoo account from my phone and set up again. All this to no avail. Prior to this period Yahoo would fail to push every now and then, A soft reset was successful.
I do have a second email account on this phone which fetches mail. Settings on the iphone: Push is "ON" and Fetch is set for "Manually". Yahoo and this second account were initially set up at the same time over a year ago.
Where can I go from here.

I am having the same issue. It worked for me initially. Now it hasn't been pushing my emails for 3 days now. I reset the e-mail and everything. Apperently I read that Yahoo is aware of the situation. Please let me know if anyone else has heard about this or is experiencing the same issue.

I am having trouble setting up my Yahoo email account on my IPhone 4S.

I continue to receive the error message of "Yahoo Server Unavailable. Please try again later". Is anyone else having this issue?

Yes - same issue. I am able to work my yahoo email fine on my iPad, but just bought the iPhone 4s today and cannot set it up for the same reason you state.
I walked through the advanced sections of both iPad and iPhone and they are set up the same, so I have no idea why this is not working.

Yahoo email problem?

Hi - I have a Curve 8900 running v4.6.1.231
I am on an Enterprise Data plan, with emails synched up to both my office outlook email, and my personal yahoo email. At around 11:30 yesterday, my yahoo email stopped sending/receiving/synching with my BB, but my office outlook email is working fine.
I tried to go into Email setup with the setup wizard, to see if maybe I had to delete and re-add my yahoo email account, but after about 60 seconds with a load message "connecting to email settings" I got a message that said "Your devide had a problem connecting to the server" with retry and cancel button - I retried with no avail.
Not the most tech savvy person here, but was wondering if this is a problem on my end? Or something on the BB side? Any ideas on how to correct would be most appreciated!
Sandy

Hmmm...that's a choice you will have to make. Here's why...when you use the PC/Web interface to BIS, you must create credentials for your BIS account so that, when you log in via PC/Web, it can authenticate you to the proper BIS account. Credentials aren't needed via the device interface to BIS since you are connecting from the device. But, once you use the PC/Web interface and create credentials, you will also have to thereafter also use them on the BB itself. But, it should offer you a "remember me" checkbox so that you only have to enter those credentials on the BB the first time you use it after creating the credentials.
Honestly, if you don't think you'll ever again want to connect to your BIS account via PC/Web, then you are probably just as well now calling your carrier. They can just as well send the Service Books (once you get through their call queue, of course!).
Good luck!

BT Yahoo email problems (external accounts) June 2...

Hi
I'm writing now in total frustration at BT Yahoo email!
I've been using the latest version of BT Yahoo mail. A couple of days ago, a random error message started popping up about the external mail accounts I have registered on my "btinternet.com" email address, saying the password on all 5 external accounts were suddenly and inexplicably wrong, all at the same time! (This despite no changes to those accounts in any way, password or otherwise.)
I re-entered all the passwords, saved them - but they didn't appear to be saved as the field (which would normally have asterisks in) were blank, and the error messages persisted, whenever I tried to do anything on my account.
I then deleted a couple of Gmail accounts & tried to re-add them but this proved impossible - despite Yahoo showing that an email was being sent to the Gmail email, nothing was actually sent, so I couldn't verify or re-add the email to BT Yahoo as a result.
I call Premium mail support & got hold of a chap who didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about, despite careful clear explanations & saying that although I could log in & USE my account, it was extremely annoying to have these popups continually appearing.
He then switched me back to the old version of BT Yahoo mail I've ever seen - and I've been with them for a loooong time! - and told me I have to use the old system as the new one (which I have been using bugs and all for at least 6 months) has too many errors and can't be used.
THIS IS CR%P!!!!! I'm paying for this service ... What service???
When I asked that they raise a ticket with Yahoo to find out when "beta" will be fixed, he said they have no way of contacting Yahoo, which I find extraordinary...
*sigh* ok, rant over...
Has anyone else had this problem with external accounts??
Is anyone else experiencing this awful service?
Has anyone else been put back to an old crappy version of BT Yahoo email?
Any sympathy or advice appreciated...
Tracey

FIREFOX & YAHOO EMAIL PROBLEMS

This is not a question but a potential solution, I've already solved my own problem.
I am currently running Firefox 15 with Win XP Pro and SP3. The reason I’m running 15 is, I don’t want all the reported problems with the upgrades that others keep reporting on Firefox and other forums and I don’t have any. I monitored the upgrade problems with FF 9 up to 12 and waited until the increasing complaints subsided with 15 and upgraded manually.
I see quite a few people reporting problems with Firefox and Yahoo email. I see the same tips, delete CACHE and COOKIES and the same responses – IT ISN’T WORKING.
Deleting every cookie is like burning down the barn to get rid of the rats when you can selectively delete only the cookie(s) for each Yahoo email account under TOOLS/OPTIONS/PRIVACY/SHOW COOKIES. This leaves the rest intact, preventing having to resign into everything else with saved passwords.
Yahoo, like Firefox, is constantly screwing with its website. They recently changed the email home page last fall to where you had to load the folders separately with a second page command, this was Yahoo's redesign stupidity, no fault of Firefox. I got tired of Yahoo’s constant problems and set up all new Gmail accounts. They just recently updated the email home a few weeks ago back to the original format where the folders loaded on the home page with the INBOX and made an announcement to the fact.
Last week, the home page suddenly became completely non-responsive, loading any button into the address bar but not launching them. There was no access to the folders, settings, compose etc. and every account was back to their old lavender themes I had changed to blue. This lasted for a little over a week, sending me back to Gmail accounts. I never had any problems with Yahoo email with Google Chrome or Opera but rarely use them.
I deleted the CACHE and COOKIES and, like everyone else – no luck. Rummaging through the OPTIONS and settings, I noticed the REMEMBER MY DOWNLOAD AND BROWSING HISTORY checked. I keep this OFF, saving useless junk on my hard drive, my CACHE files are on a flash drive. I unchecked this and then went and deleted BROWSING AND DOWNLOAD HISTORY with the CACHE files and all the Yahoo email accounts were working again - go figure.
You might try deleting the BROWSING AND DOWNLOAD HISTORY next time and see if this helps any problems.

I usually get around to updating plugins, although I can't ever remember having a problem with the old ones.
As a matter of fact, I think this whole Yahoo email mess started right after updating JAVA and ADOBE plugins, should have left well enough alone. Typically before updating anything, I'll check the Internet and see if there are other reported problems.
After major installs and updates, I usually defrag to get the disk back in order. Deleting CACHE files on a hard drive every time you turn around leaves the drive in a mess to get further fragmented. Most stock defrag program may "compact" the files first, taking forever to defrag. programs like Auslogics, defrags only and can clean up a HD in a sew seconds when maintained.

Help - Strange Problem with Yahoo email on my 3G iphone

When I send email from my yahoo account - very often the recipient gets multiple copies - sometimes as many as 5 copies. Sometimes they only get one copy. But usually they get multiple copies. I have been to the ATT store a few times trying to get this cleared up but no one can figure out why this happens and what to do about it.
Does anyone else have this problem.
Does anyone know why and what to do?

Using the email validation tool, did you get any errors?
When you install the Yahoo account to your Q10, it accepts your email address and password and sets up the account?

More IPhone-Yahoo Email Problems

I was told one year ago that iPhone can't access Yahoo! Mail when non-alphanumeric characters are used in the account password.
Now I find that iPhone can't access Yahoo! Mail when alphanumeric characters are used in the account password.
I wonder what will be the solution now, don't use any characters in the password?

Apple told me use only non-alphaneumeric characters in password over the phone, but also here...
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38632?viewlocale=en_US
I never said apple stated that alphanumeric characters can't be used in the Yahoo password.
Your reading comprehension is low.
I said "Now I find that alphanumeric characters do not work". This means that now I am using only alphaneumeric characters and my password does not work.
