Yahoo email stopped working as of Wed., Nov. 18th for no apparent reason

So email says there is no password. Went in, keyed in password (which I have never had to do) and it can't verify account; deleted it and re-added it--
Username or password for imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect

Seems like it had something to do with Verizon broadband which was discontinued. Once I unlinked my Verizon email with Yahoo, turned off my iPhone and turned it back on, it could verify my account.

  • I downloaded Office for Mac 2011, and almost immediately my Yahoo email stopped working, most images were disabled throughout my internet sites, and my bank site reported that I was using a "new computer," which is not true. How can I get my email to work

    I have an iMac version 10.6.8/2.66 GHz Intel Processor and 4 GB memory, with Safari 5.1.10. I had used Office for Mac 2008 but had to upgrade for work. The download (from Amazon) went swiftly, but when I started Word, it did not function too well. Then about an hour later I noticed that my Yahoo email site stopped working, it lost all images and the text just jumbled up on the left side of the screen. No amount of emptying caches or resets/quits/restarts did anything. I called the Internet support, and they just said it was my iMac that had the problem. I have been reduced to using MacMail as my email, but this is tenuous, as my Yahoo account keeps holding things up and constantly asking me for my password (and sometimes it does not accept it). How can I get my computer back?

    The path may be long and tedious, grasshopper.
    Actually, the download of Office 2011 for Mac probably was not legal and may have contained bugs or other things meant to make it unstable, or invite a host of issues. The usual path would be Office 2011 for Mac on DVD so you could reinstall it and add the extras from the disc as needed; or fix the installation later on. The updates for security were downloads from Microsoft servers. You'd need a legitmate version with pass code.
    Options for Mac and office-like application suites include Libre Office, NeoOffice, and these run free. The latter supports up to Mavericks. 10.9.1 now. They have a word, excel, and other parts a lot like the real office.
    If you have a working clone of the system prior to installing the Office 2011 for Mac download and any subsequent and perhaps unseen extras, you could revert to it simply by restarting the computer from the clone, where it resides in externally enclosed self-powered hard disk drive, of a type known to support OS X clones... With ports to help work with most modern Macs. FireWire + USB. Then, clone it back w/ carbon copy cloner.
    Short of that, perhaps someone will see your post and offer some indepth method of hunting down bugs via use of Console logs; and maybe booting into Terminal utility to use unix code. It can be rather involved. Maybe Linc Davis will offer some detailed reply that will invite you to read carefully and try it.
    I've given up using computers long ago.

  • My bt yahoo email stopped working?

    it says incorrect password and takes me to settings but password is corrrect and bt yahoo email works fine on my windows laptop

    Hi see me response (in another category, but exactly the same as you have).
    Its fixed now!
    Hi,
    having just upgraded my iPhone 4 to 6.1.3 two days ago and after reading James Ward's comments on BT Yahoo Mail (all bets are off), I thought I was truly doomed.
    I tried umpteen manual configuration changes and also deleted the Yahoo mail Account I had on my phone.
    BTW, I have a "[email protected]" email address.
    I was also able to login with same username/password as above to the BT Yahoo mail on the Web just fine and see all my emails, so it was just through the Mail App on my iPhone I had the problem (and only after the upgrade to 6.1.3)
    At various points I had the following error messages:
    Error message 1
    ============
    The IMAP Server apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is not responding.
    Check network connection.
    Check "Incoming Mail Server" field.
    Error message 2
    ============
    The Operation couldn't be completed.
    (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1032)
    Error message 3
    =============
    Server unavailable
    Please try again later.
    So after 2 calls from Apple (yes they called me, no cost), I have it working;
    Here are the settings I did:
    POP account Information
    name, email as above
    Incoming Mail Server
    host name: mail.btinternet.com
    username: email as above
    password: password
    Outgoing Mail Server
    SMTP: mail.btinternet.com
    (selecting the Outgoing Mail Server above...)
    Primary Server: mail.btinternet.com (ON)
    (selecting the Primary mail Server above...)
    Server (ON)
    Hostname: mail.btinternet.com
    Username: email as above
    password: password
    Use SSL (OFF)
    Authentication: password (ticked)
    Server Port: 25
    Go back to main Account screen
    Select your Btopenworld account just created
    scroll down and select Advanced
    Use SSL (OFF)
    Authentication: password (ticked)
    Server Port 110
    S/MIME: OFF
    After I did that and I opened up my mail app, it synced and downloaded all my emails!! :-)
    Nothing lost.
    Thanks to Apple for their help.

  • AOL email stopped working

    My AOL email has stopped working.  I've tried clearing the cache, clearing out and re-entering my password.  I can't delete the account - I've tried repeatedly, but since it is the default account and that can't be changed, deleting it is out of the question, I guess.  I haven't gotten any new mail in over a week.  Taking the battery out or shutting off the phone and restarting don't work either.  I'm out of tricks.  Help, please.  Thanks.

    The VZW service center rep advised us to download the Yahoo app rather than use the one that came with the phone.  That worked for us.
    DITTO on the VZW techs ignoring user questions.

  • Yahoo email stopped pushing after ios6.0.1 update, has anyone else had this problem? Iphone5

    Yahoo email stopped pushing the day the ios6.0.1 update came out. Managed to get it back Saturday night, but stopped again last night. I have tried every trick I found in the forums short of restoring my phone, but don't really want to do that if I can help it, since Yahoo push has been sporadic in the past with all my iPhones &amp; don't know if it will even help. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this as well. Thank you.

    I haven't tried anything as of yet. I just had this happen like an hour ago n haven't had time to troubleshoot. I did however do a soft reset but haven't written another email to see if its still going on. Im at work n dont have much time until morning.

  • My S5 corporate email stopped working. I heard it is a bug in LOLLIPOP. Has anyone heard this?

    My S5 corporate email stopped working. I heard it is a bug in LOLLIPOP. Has anyone heard this?

    Sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing, StephenjCrane. We definitely want to make sure your work email is working. When you try to access your email, are you receiving an error message? Are you using the default email client, or a third party application? Do you know if other coworkers are also experiencing the same issue?
    Just in case, please try a wipe cache partition as this can help stop a number of issues.
    http://vz.to/1uorSMg --When you reach Step 4, please choose Wipe Cache Partition, and not Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Once this is done, please select Reboot to restart your phone.

  • Email stopped working--can't send or receive

    My email stopped working yesterday. I had tried to send a large file --ppt.-- and it sat in the outbox and wouldn't transmit, so I deleted it. Since then I can't send or receive email. My wireless system is OK; I'm on Firefox now. How can I fix email? My O.S. is Leopard 10.6.7, laptop is MacBook Pro.

    My email stopped working. When I upgraded to IOS6 on a 4s. Well, nothing changed but the os, and I finally figured out that when you put in your user name, you have to put in the @yourprovider.com
    When they wrote the code they forgot to add the little piece of code that would translate and transmit your user name with the @provider.com.
    Once I changed it to [email protected]   it immediatley started working

  • Exchange email stopped working on iphone 4s and iPad3

    Exchange email just stopped working on both iPad3 and iPhone 4s for no apparent reason. My PC is windows7 and using office 365 and receiving email OK. Suddenly both my Apple devices are saying "user name or password for Exchange is incorrect". Any ideas?? I am still on iOS5.1.1 and not 6. Appreciate your help in advance.

    mdwnz -
    It sounds like you have either a locked out account or your password expired. Please reset your password then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Click on the account with the issue and re-enter your new password.
    This should resolve your issues.

  • Microsoft Exchange email stopped working "Cannot Get Mail" message

    About 4 days ago my work email stopped working altogether. Every time i open the application, a message 'Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed.' appears. This happened about a day after i installed 2.2 firmware.
    I spoke with my IT department and they haven't made any changes on the server.
    I deleted all mail accounts on my phone but to no avail. I did a complete restore of the phone and it still doesn't work.
    I had my phone replaced yesterday for a different issue, it came with 2.1 software and i still was not able to connect to the server.
    One more thing, when i initially set up the account, i get an error message 'Unable to Verify Certificate'.
    The email was working fine for about three months before that.
    Any help would be very much appreciated since it's my work phone and i rely on having access to my email everywhere i go.
    Thanks,

    Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • My Ipod touch email stopped working after installing Update

    my Ipod touch email stopped working after installing the latest firmware update from Apple what should I do?

    Hi, jewlssch. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the Mail application will not launch, I would recommend processing any available updates on your Mac Pro and test launching Mail.  If the issue persists, process a reinstall of Mavericks.
    Reinstall OS X

    Make sure to backup all of your data prior to reinstalling OS X 10.9.

  • IPhone 4 Email stopped working

    From yesterday, my email on iPhone 4 stopped working. I deleted the account and reset the account many times. Still just spinning and showing "Checking for Mail.." In box is blank. Need help. Thanks in advance!

    Not sure if this is the same thing, because my symptoms are slightly different (not limited to wireless vs. 3G). My iPhone 4 Email stopped working yesterday, constantly connecting or checking mail and spinning...only stopping every 30minutes to 1hr. The reason I end up recognizing this problem is all of a sudden I'm out of charge because the phone goes active and never stops.
    I'm nearly 100% sure this is not hardware, because this is the issue I hoped to get away from with my iPhone 3G. Had the issue ever since 3.1.3 upgrade. I did not carry anything over from the old phone (did not sync with my itunes backup), so everything is different, shiny and new except for the e-mail and calendar accounts that I connect to (I even put those settings in manually).
    I'm starting to think that it has a relationship to the calendar, some sort of cross mail and calendar issue. I'm able to completely disable calendar syncing on Exchange and MobileMe and Mail starts working again. Plus Calendar was the first application to crash.
    At least the whole iPhone OS didn't end up crashing which is what my 3G used to do. Would be nice to know exactly what the bug that is triggering this, I'm guessing there is some kind of amount of external mail/calendar events synced trigger.

  • My yahoo email wont work on my iphone 5...what do i do...thanks

    I can't get my yahoo email to work on my iphone.. what do i do now..thanks

    No it issn't an iphone issue.
    The issue is with yahoo and their server.
    You can do a search in the forum "yahoo mail"  and see how many threads there are about not being able to connect to Yahoo server and the answer is the same it's Yahoo problem not Apple or iphone.

  • For no apparent reason I can no longer get my email icon to work.  All I get is a completely blank screen.

    For no apparent reason I can no longer receive or send emails.  In fact when I touch the email icon all I get is a blank screen.  I have checked my email settings all seems fine.  Regards Kim

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
