Yahoo Mail Not Authenticating

Anyone else having problems getting their Yahoo email on their Droid? Mine stopped being able to check/log in sometime this morning. When I try to manually refresh my Yahoo account (free version), I get an error that Authentication failed - Please verify username and password. Nothing wrong with my username or password. I can get my Yahoo email just fine from my computer. I tried deleting the account and seting it up again, but no luck

I had a 7 character password. Yahoo now needs a better password. Log into a computer and change your password. That worked for me.

Yahoo mail not updating

YAhoo mail not updating for some days. I had to downliad yahoo app to check my mails

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.

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!

Yahoo mail not going to my bold 9650

yahoo mail not going to my bold 9650
2 days in a row i was on the phone with verizon. my mail is intermitly being sent to my phone. anybody else having that problem?

First try this solution:
Re-validate the integrated account. To do this, complete the following steps:
Log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account.
Beside the invalid integrated email account, an icon of an envelope with a red line through it will be displayed. Click the icon.
If you are still having the issue then you would go thru steps of :
(Associating an email account using the BlackBerry smartphone)
The steps are located at this web address http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/dynamickc.do?externalId=KB02189&sliceId=SAL_Public&command=show&forward=nonthreadedKC&kcId=KB02189#smartphone
Hope this Helps

Safari and yahoo mail not getting along

Safari and Yahoo Mail don't seem to be getting along this past month

Hi powerbook1701!
It is a shame...Yahoo has always been bad with Safari...I think most people here keep a copy of Firefox/Camino for cases like this when webdesigners don't make their pages compatible with Safari. It's not much of a problem anymore but there are still a few sites depending on where you surf...
Actually the reason I started using Mail is because the standard Yahoo mail wouldn't display custom fonts, etc. on Mac. At that time not even with Firefox for Windows. But I'm glad that I switched because I enjoy using Mail much more that Yahoo's webmail which by the way was never good at searching...
Oops this sounds like Yahoo bashing!!! It's not meant to be...just letting you know other people have the same issues you're experiencing...

SMS in YAHOO mail not working in Firefox

In the drop down box for Yahoo Mail, Compose Message, if I click on SMS, it just turns a little blue and then sits there. Nothing happens. No SMS box, nothing. I was able to freely send and receive SMS messages up until about 3 days ago. It will not work in Mozilla Firefox, no matter what I do. If I go to Internet Explorer, it DOES work. I have the 9.0.1 Firefox version, which I updated to about 2 weeks ago.

Unless Yahoo changed something, which certainly is possible, the suggested approach is the usual:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your Yahoo cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove your Yahoo cookies without affecting other sites.
Then try reloading the page and logging back in. Any improvement?
To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
''Flash and other plugins still run in Safe Mode''
After Firefox closes, a small dialog should display. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?
Some users have reported that older bookmarks or home pages do not redirect to the latest Yahoo server correctly. As a workaround, try accessing mail through the home page (www.yahoo.com or att.yahoo.com or whichever one it happens to be).

Yahoo mail not working in firefox anymore

Ever since last week yahoo mail has stopped working in firefox, the page loads but everything I click on doesn't open. I don't know what has changed since then. I upgraded to firefox 28 prior to it and it worked fine for about a week then all of a sudden yahoo stopped. I think it is a yahoo problem because it only works in Chrome now not very well in Safari either but since I use firefox the most I wanted to know if anyone else was having trouble with this as well

Have you tried to clear the cache or can you try opening in Private Window mode and tell whether it works or not.

Yahoo Mail not displaying all new e-mails on iPad

For the past two days, when viewing Yahoo Mail through Safari on the iPad, the number of new e-mails listed for the Inbox has not matched the actual number of new e-mails in the Inbox. For example, it might say "Inbox (11)", but there are only 9 new e-mails actually in the Inbox (and, yes, I've made sure to load all the messages for viewing). This problem only seems to occur when going through Safari on the iPad. When I check my mail on my computer, the number listed matches the actual number in the Inbox. It also displays the "missing" ones not showing up on the iPad. I'd have to research it a bit more, but my initial guess is that the iPad version is only showing the new e-mails found after the final read e-mail. For example, if new e-mails show up with timestamps that set them between mail that has already been read, then they aren't showing up in the Inbox, despite the fact that they are included in the number of new e-mails listed for the Inbox. Again, this problem has only occurred the past 2 days and only when using Yahoo Mail through Safari on the iPad.

I've tried the Mail app in the past, but that had its own quirks (not being able to delete everything in the Spam folder at once, not all Contacts syncing over). I don't have to worry about the pesky ads because I use Yahoo Mail Plus instead of the regular version. I'm sure it's just a glitch that showed up when something was updated, and it will probably be back to normal soon.

Yahoo mail not working on iMac

Yahoo mail works on iPad- worked for two days on iMac now it doesn't work. I may delete and reinstall. Is there a way i can install for just new email and not all of my history? Thanks. Any and all suggestions will help. Thanks.

If you delete that account all will be instantly gone from it.
You can move the current Mails/boxes for that account to another Mailbox you make.
Without Mail running of course, you could in the Finder Move those folders to a safe place, & theoretically put them back after starting Mail, deleting that account, create the Account, quit Mail, move the folders back.
But what does Mail's Connection Doctor say?

Yahoo Mail not showing up on 3g ios4

I just picked up the new iPhone and gave my old 3g to my wife. I did a factory restore and upgraded to iOS4. She uses yahoo mail. The mail icon will show that she has email but it can't be seen in the inbox. When she goes online the mail is there. I have deleted the account and set it back up again. After doing that the email shows up for a while and then stops again.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Maybe a setting I missed? Any help is appreciated.

What do you mean by mail does not show up? You're not receiving any email? What?
