Yahoo mail connectivity issues - Yahoo Server unavailable

I had my Yahoo mail account configured on my iPod touch 4th Gen for over 6 months, suddenly I was prompted to add my "caldav" password and I could not access my mail.  I tried so many things to get it working suggested on the internet and forums and eventually deleted the account from the iPod to try and det in working.
I still get "Server unavailable" when setting it up ...... access to email via Safari works OK
1. There is no issues with my Yahoo password.
2. Deleted and re-created my account on the iPod (after power cycle etc)
3. Actually tried another Yahoo account - still no joy
4. Tried adding an account as "Other" using Yahoo's IMAP & SMTP settings to push mail .......... it just says checking for mail
5.  Added "other SMTP" server to outgoing mail etc ...... using smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Nothing seems to work.  Anybody any ideas?  This is the most frustrating thing I have ever known .............
Many thanks
Hope someone can point me in the right direction

It gets even stranger ....... although my Yahoo account won't actual connect to the Yahoo mail servers via iOS mail client and it does not have the ability to receive emails, I can select a photo image and select "email photo" the standard iOS client send email screen is displayed and I can send the image and subject with text to any email address and it is received OK.  When I load the iOS mail client and go into sent items the email is there to confirm it was sent via the client.
I still can't pull email and but can send directly from the client itself, after the email is sent I receive the following :-
Cannot get mail
No password provided for "Yahoo!".
Please go to your mail account settings and enter a password
Of course I have tried entering the valid password, but it just gets rejected with the usual "Server unavailable"
Madness ... it must be a corruption of the local Mail client surely?  Anyone seen this before and how to fix?
Help appreciated

  • New ipad - trying to get yahoo mail to work but it keeps saying yahoo server unavailable.....any ideas?

    I have set up my yahoo email account on my new ipad but can't get it to work - the error message says yahoo server unavailable which I find hard to believe! Can anyone help me please?

    I checked the settings as per your link above and I have them set up correctly on my ipad (I have yahoo plus). That is to say I have added the plus.stmp.mail.yahoo.com as an outgoing server with the server port 465 but it still doesn't work.
    Annoyingly, I also took the advice of some earlier posts and changed my yahoo password and now I can't get email on my iphone 4 either - it was working perfectly before. I put in the new password and now both the ipad and iphone give me the "server unavailable" message.  Grrrrrr....

  • My mail is telling me Yahoo server unavailable when i know its not and I cant get mail

    my mail is telling me Yahoo server unavailable when i know its not and I cant get mail

    This most likely means that either the server is unavailable, or your email settings are corrupted. Try deleting the account, rebooting the phone, and adding it back.

  • Yahoo Server unavailable

    My daughter had her yahooo account hacked last night so today we changed her password.   Went into change her password on her IPOD and it keeps coming up Server Unavailable pleasy try again later.  then after that i get "the Operation couldn't be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1032)
    We have been trying now for 9 hours.
    I have tried the following
    Deleting the account settings on the Ipod. clearing safari Resetting the ipod. then setting the account up from scratch
    resetting up the accounts manually using Imap.mail.yahoo.com  and imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com and mail.yahoo.com (no calendars or contacts so not a suitable solution.  and caldav doesnt work)
    i can get in from a PC,  Kindle Fire and using the Ipod Safari page no problems.

    anyone able to shed any further light on this.
    regards

    and before any smart alec says search the forums i have done. and its not a yahoo issue as my Ipad mail and my Sons IPOD mail clients get mail from yahoo fine.

    I have been looking at a similar issue for over a week, this most frustrating thing I have every known and the lack of support or answers is amazing.  It has to be an iOS issue, but I haven't managed to fix it yet.
    Have a look at my post "Yahoo mail connectivity issues - Yahoo Server unavailable" from 5 days ago, the only update is from me :-) .. sounds like a similar issue. 
    Just glad I use Android OS devices ......... as the iPod is my daughters. 
    I'll update your post if I fix the issue I am having

  • TS4069 Has anyone resolved the yahoo server unavailable on the iPad when trying to rest email account

    Has anyone resolved the yahoo server unavailable issue with iPad

    the issues are on Yahoo's end. They have been updating/upgrading their servers for the past few weeks, and when they are working on the server your mail is on, you will experience outages.
    Usually all you can do is just wait it out or try a different way to access. For example I accessed my mail via safari when mine weren't working.

  • Yahoo server unavailable.  I am not able to get into yahoo account. iPhone 4S

    Yahoo server unavailable.  I am not able to get into yahoo account to check/send email.  I have a new iPhone 4 S. 
    Can anybody help.
    Thanks.

    When setting up you email, do not click on the Yahoo!  Use "Other" and follow the promps.  Use imap.mail.yahoo.com as your Incoming Mail Server, and smtp.mail.yahoo.com as your Outgoing Mail Server.
    This should fix it

  • Yahoo server unavailable on new iphone 5

    Just got my new iphone 5 and the yahoo mail does not work - it says:  yahoo server unavailable.  did I miss a step?

    This link helped me with the same problem. Instead of creating your email account using the yahoo choice in settings, choose "other" and set up your yahoo account as explained in this link:

  • HT201320 what does it mean you get the message "yahoo server unavailable"

    I keep getting the mesage "yahoo server unavailable" when I try to setup my yahoo mail on my iPad and iPhone; but I can access the account on a computer using a browser.  Does anyone know why I am getting this message?

    This sounds like a message from the Amazon Kindle app, asking whether you want to navigate to the furthest page you have read in that book.  The furthest page read should be sync'd across all devices on which you used Kindle to read that same book.

  • Yahoo mail connection issue on iPhone4s iOS6

    I have recently updated my iPhone software to iOS6. Now I am unable to connect to the yahoo server on my mobile phone. The error that I get is: "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" is not responding. check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incomimg mail Server" field. I have the correct information and no matter what I have tired nothing seems to work.
    Please advise.

    After further investigation, this appears to be an issue with Mail that hasn't been fixed by Apple yet.  There's a ton of people experiencing the same issue as you.  Some have been able to fix it via updating OSX to the latest build, but others continue to have the issue even after that.  Moving accounts to Outlook seems to be the only stable solution, but that may not be what you're looking for.  For now, either make it a habit to close out of Mail before sleeping or restart it after waking to fix this.  As a more streamlined workaround, if you log off before closing your lid, when you log back in, the system will automatically reopen all your programs that were running before if you leave that option checked.  I know it's not what you want as well, but at least this way you don't have to do the restart of the app yourself.

  • HT4061 I cannot add my email account...for 2 days it keeps saying, yahoo server unavailable...but I have it on my computer!!

    I cannot add my yahoo email account to my iphone. I have been trying for 2 days and it keeps saying Yahoo server is unavailable...I can access my email on my computer, and was also able to add another email account to my iphone, but not the yahoo account.

  • Why is the Yahoo server unavailable?

    I updated my iPhone on Saturday. Since then, I haven't been able to use the Yahoo server. A message pops up & states it's not available; it says try later. Also, it keeps prompting me to enter my password to my Yahoo account. I enter it & the message pops up again Why???? I reset my networks in the settings filed as advised & it still doesn't work.

    This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
    You will have to access  "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
    Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password.  instead of the yahoo account password.
