Yahoo mail can't connect to server

I've started having this issue as well. First time about a month ago I deleted Yahoo mail from my phone and added it back. Didn't help. Then one day the mail account just started syncing again. Now I'm having the same issue again. Keep getting the 'cannot get mail', 'connection to the server failed' message.Not sure what I did. How about nothing? Do I just wait it out again like last time? Or is there a fix for this? And why does it keep happening?

All your questions needs to be directed to Yahoo.
It is a known issue with Yahoo mobile mail.

    Hi PAG1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend restarting your iPad and trying again to see if that helps:

  • Outgoing mail can't connect to server after update

    I updated my iphone and ipad and desktop when the new update came out. My email works only on my iphone and ipad.  My computer recieves messages, but can not send them.  It says it is "offline" and "can't connect to server" uggggh. This has been going on for at least a month now.  I called Time Warner Cable and they basically said they could not help me.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hello,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

  • HT204075 Mail can't connect to server because password is incorrect

    Hi,
    Since I updated my mac book air with the last OS X 10.10.2, my email has been completely broken. I cannot send or receive.
    I use Register.com with a personalized email (@perrinparis.com) and have never had any issues before. I spent 1 hour on the phone with one of their technicians who made sure all my settings (ports) were correct.. But it still isn't working. I unchecked use SSL and 'Automatically detect and maintain account settings'.. It still says it can't connect to the server. My hotmail account works just fine.
    I have deleted and re-added my account several times..
    I'm hopeless

    I had the same problem after upgrading to 10.10.2 last week.  Mail.app wouldn't connect to my Yahoo! or iCloud mail accounts.  I tried Unibox instead of Mail and that worked for a week, but then Unibox had the same problem.  Ultimately, what fixed Mail for me was to log out of iCloud in System preferences, delete my Yahoo! mail from System Preferences / Internet Accounts, then restart the Macbook Air into safe mode (hold down the shift key while booting).  While in safe mode, I went into System Preferences / iCloud, logged in, and enabled Mail, and then added my yahoo account in Internet Accounts.  Finally, Mail started to connect to all my accounts and I was able to receive and send mail again. 
    I restarted normally and everything has been working fine since then.  While my reply is not guaranteed to work for you, I sincerely do hope this helps! 

  • Mail can't connect to server

    Just got the iPhone 4S. Have been trying to set up my Yahoo mail account. Deleted the account from my iPhone 3GS - but it's STILL saying cannot connect to server.

    I am having the same problem, since about 12:30PM yesterday.  I am in Eastern time zone.  I contacted Yahoo since nothing has changed on my side, and my Plus account is still active.  All they did was give me instructions on how to clear my browser cache and told me to try again in a few hours.  I'm able to access Yahoo Mail just fine via browser, iPad and iPhone...just not Mail on my MacPro.  I do think it's an issue with Yahoo's servers.  There are quite a few reports of OS X Mail users having the same issue around the same time.  The best thing you can do at this point is open up a support case with Yahoo and wait for further info.
    If you are indeed experiencing the same issue, you will see an error icon next to your Yahoo account inbox in Mail.  If you click it, a message will pop up stating "....The attempt to send data to the server "(null)" failed."  This tells me either Mail is suddenly not specifying a server to contact (highly unlikely) or the server has gone down or is not receiving data properly (likely).

  • AOL Mail Can not connect to server

    I am having problems with the email client on the playbook. I have both AOL and Yahoo email accounts. Both accounts downloaded properly since the 2.0 upgrade, but recently, another update was downloaded and now my AOL account keeps popping up "unable to connect to server" but yet the email is there. However, every now and then, when you try to "read" it, it just keeps downloading. Any one else have this problem and know of a fix?

    I would delete the all account and reconfigure it. It should be am IMAP Account.

  • Iphone 4 issue - yahoo email can't connect to server on 3G

    I find my email not updating in 3G...i get Connection to Server cannot be found or some such thing.

    I reset my network connections and that did the trick.

  • Yahoo mail can't send - Outgoing server "(null)" failed

    I can not send ONLY from MY Yahoo email address. When I try to send a message is says "Outgoing Server '(null)' failed."
    I have tried changing my password to one without numbers or characters, deleting the account and re-adding, restoring the iPhone. Nothing.
    Here is the wierd thing: any other Yahoo account works just fine. My wifes yahoo address works perfectly, I created a new one and it works perfectly as well. It is just my address. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have the same problem. The issue is IMAP vs. POP. Setting up the bizmail account with the pre-loaded "YahooMail" link in the Mail setup options sets up your bizmail account with IMAP settings. While this allows you to see all your storage folders from the server, for whatever reason, you can't receive mail as the incoming server "null" fails. I can send mail just fine, but I can't receive. Now the work-around was to set it up as an "other account," not using the YahooMail link. Then you have to select "POP", then use "pop.bizmail.yahoo.com" (ignore the quotes) for the incoming mail server with SSL turned OFF. For outgoing, you use "smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com:465", turn ON SSL. The 465 designates the correct port, so you should have that in there. This will allow you to both send and receive, but will NOT allow you to view your storage folders. The account would have to be set up as IMAP in order to see those folders, but I have been unsuccessful in getting that information from yahoo business support. They are as useless as the "geniuses" at the Apple Store. Hope this helps!

  • I can't get my mail it keeps saying can't connect to server. Have I turned something off ?

    I can't get my e mail to work it keeps saying can't connect to server. Have I turned something off?    help!!!!!! :))))

    Under the email provider find the account from which you can't send (you mention Yahoo) and click on that, then the first thing on the next page is the email address so click on that and scroll down to advanced, there you'll find SSL settings. I can provide screenshots if you still require help although I don't have a Yahoo account the instructions are the same for any email account.

  • Mail can't connect to isp server. provider says it's an internal issue

    mail can't connect to isp server. provider says it's an internal issue, mail is set up corectly.

    Are connecting exclusively through IMAP or through POP?   IMAP automatically stores all the e-mails on the server.
    POP gets them onto your Mac.   The advantage of IMAP, unless you desire, you are not downloading all the attachments to your hard drive, and bandwidth issues of downloading slowing you down with lots of large attachments are avoided.   The other advantage with IMAP, you can try a web based e-mail to see if your e-mail program missed downloading everything.    http://www.mail2web.com/ is my favorite web based e-mail.  I recommend at least trying it to see if it will let you see your e-mail.  Any custom folders will be invisible, but at least anything in your inbox should be visible and usable.
    Are you using any other e-mail software for forwarding, such as gmail?

  • Emails will not send - Mail can't connect to the a...

    After having no issues with sending emails for years suddenly I am continually getting the following meassge when trying to send emails. Eventually after putting this password in up to twenty times the email will send.
    The message is:
    Mail can't connect to the account "mail.btinternet.com:[email protected]" Enter the password for user "[email protected]"
    This is happening on all of our computers: Macbook Pro, Macbook Air and Imac and started about 2 weeks ago. It occurs for every sent email.
    Any ideas on how to stop this?

    I have logged into Bt.com and there is no issues there. Sent an email from there an it was received.
    Also spent 2 long hours sharing a screen with someone from BT who obviously didn't know what they were doing as they did not even look in the MAIL preferences.
    This is the error message we receive:
    The server “mail.btinternet.com” cannot be contacted on the default ports.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
    Any reason why there server can't be reached. We have been using these settings for years without issue?
    Thanks

    Hi.
    What port is set in your smtp account ?
    It could be that your whole account has now been transferred to Critical Path - you can tell this from logging into webmail via bt.com - if it doesn't say BT Yahoo in the title area, you've been transferred and should alter the settings.
    This will, of course, probably cause issues for 100s of 1000s of people. An email should have been received titled "The new BT Mail is coming your way", and gives some details including a link of what to do to various devices and mail clients :-

  • Can't connect to server to accept terms/conditons

    after upgrading to ios 7, icloud is not working on iphone 4S—asks me to accept terms and conditions, but then says "can't connect to server" to do so.
    Tried turing off and on, any others having this issue?
    Thanks

    Feel so foolish. After deleting as you suggest, I realized that the mail I'm reading on my iPad is, in fact, the mail from the cloud. I was expecting an iCloud web page like I see on my computer. Apparently, that's not the case. If I've been receiving email on my iPad, then I'm already setup properly.
    Thanks for you help anyway ..
