Yahoo Mail problems on IPhone

Was working then two days ago all of a sudden stopped working. I did not change my password. I have since used Yahoo's web based account (regular not plus). My password consists of only letters and numbers. I have tried deleting and recreating. I get messages saying wrong password or username. I have typed in 5 times and yes I have logged of on Web based mail and logged in typing in the same exact words and it works. I have also gotten a error message of something talking about imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com. ANY IDEAS??

Well, I've also been dealing with this strange problem of being unable to make Yahoo Mail work on my iphone. I've never had any problems until last Friday 3-27-09. I changed my password, I've attempted setting up Yahoo Mail on another iphone. Symptom does not change. At first, my account would authenticate, but then when I would go in to check in Mail, message would appear saying my password was incorrect. One thing I've also noticed, and I'm wondering if these problems correlate in some way, is that my Yahoo Messenger application on my desktop computer is also exhibiting the same sign-on problem. I really think this may be a Yahoo issue. But I've been in contact with one of their support bot's. They stated on a previous email that this is a known issue with Messenger. For my Iphone problem, they just redirect me to some general mobile Yahoo website that is pretty much useless to me. I've troubleshooted this issue enough to be confident that it is more complex and that it's not me entering in the wrong password and that it is not an Iphone settings problem. I opened a new Yahoo email ID, and was able to set it up successfully on the Iphone. It seems to me that some accounts may be affect and may not be a global "Yahoo Server" problem. Any other tips or advice would help here....

I can't access Yahoo mail on my iphone 6

I can't access my yahoo email account on my iphone 6. I think it happened since I updated to IOS 8.2. I have the account loaded and it looks fine, but it doesn't download anything to my phone. Along the way I've lost calendar info, my notes, and other things I need!
Help!
Thanks in advance!

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.

Yahoo mail tips on iphone

Here are tips to troubleshoot yahoo sendmail issue.
(1) check the address field to see there is any typo. The typical typo in address is [email protected] where there is an extra "n" at the end.
(2) please use your yahoo account name xxx to set up address as [email protected], not your yahoo alias ??? as [email protected]
(3) if your yahoo email address is yahoo international domain, please enter full email address like [email protected] or [email protected] . The version 1.1.3 iphone allows you to enter any format yahoo address other than [email protected] .

Trouble with yahoo mail "pushing" to iphone 4s

Has anyone else had problems with their yahoo mail account "pushing" to their iphone 4s? This problem has been happening off and on for about 2 months now. Had an appointment with the genius bar at apple, tech wiped out the phone and told me to restore at home. Said it should fix the problem which it did for about a week. She said if it started happening again, it was probably the phone. Went back last week and upgraded to 4s. Mail worked for about 3 hours - hasn't worked since. Tried deleting the account, restarting iphone, deleted majority of emails from inbox/trash/sent. Nothing has worked. It won't even fetch at the established times (15, 30, 1 hour). Contacted yahoo mail also who said they had been advised on the problem and are "working on it" Anyone have any experience with this? Any help welcomed!

I have the same issue iphone 4s with iOS 5.0.1.
There is another thread here - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3378671?start=75&tstart=0. Seems like quite a few others have the same issue. I also read in this or another forum that the push can be easily restarted by opening up the multitask bar (double click) and then close the mail app and then restart it. You can also do power down the phone and then start it up. Apparently the mail app needs to be running in the background. It seems that swithcing between wifi and 3G or a screen lock may have something to do with it (but I can't confirm this).
Nice to know Yahoo is working on it.

Why are Apple letting their customers down so badly? - Yahoo mail problems

Problems with Yahoo mail are being reported all over this forum now.
Lots of people are reporting that they either can not connect to their Yahoo account as the phone fails to authenticate their details (despite them being correct) or that the phone will not auto-check for mail. Various solutions such as rebooting, restoring and changing passwords have been suggested but these are not having an impact for me or for numerous others. Neither is this just an issue for jailboken phones but affects everyone.
Apple have sold the iPhone as more than just a phone. It was sold to customers as a complete solution for providing connectivity. It strikes me that the iPhone is currently failing to deliver some of its core functions. If I had bought any other phone by now I would have returned it to the shop. The only reason that I hold on is the thought that Apple will update the software soon to solve the problem.
Why then is Apple not communicating to it customers about this? The impression given is that they are ignoring our please for help. Apple may not be able to fix the problems immediately but at the very least they should make an announcement about it and acknowledge that they are working on fixing the problem with a timescale for a resolution.
Apple – I feel let down and I’m sure many others on here feel the same.
This does not fit with your brand promise and if not resolved soon could have negative connotations on your brand image and equity. You may not want to mention it in the press because it will look bad but it will look a lot worse if the competition’s PR agencies get hold of it first.
As a business owner I watched with interest at the launch of the Enterprise Beta Software. Reliability in a mail delivery system is critical and knowing that it is taken seriously by a provider is also critical. Apple are not currently giving this impression and I would therefore not currently recommend them to my peers.
Come on Apple you can do better than this!!!!

I take your point, however there are number of Apple employees who are involved in discussions on this website. Furthermore Apple is missing a big trick if they are not review their own forums (let alone other forums) to get feedback on their products.
Apple has also made a big deal about the partnerships that it sets up with other companies (Google and Yahoo being amongst them). I do not think it is fair to pass the blame on to Yahoo. It is Apple's responsibility to ensure that the functions of its own products work. If Yahoo is letting them down they should be in discussion with Yahoo to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

IOS 6 wont push my yahoo mail to my iphone 4

Anyone having an issue getting their email pushed to their iphone 4 after updating to iOS 6?

I managed to fix the problem on my iPHone 3GS under iOS 6.
All I had to do was fetch some email from the Yahoo account's inbox. After the email was downloaded, the push option was available for the Yahoo account, and the account was automatically set to that option, presumably because it was set to that option before the upgrade.
Another bug with IOS 6 and at least Yahoo Mail is that initially, you can only set the Drafts Mailbox, Sent Mailbox, and Deleted Mailbox to the ones on your iPhone or Yahoo's Inbox, i.e. you can't set them to their respective IMAP folders or any IMAP folder other than Inbox. After fetching some email from Yahoo, this problem went away, and the folders were even automatically set to the correct respective folders on Yahoo, presumably the same ones as before the upgrade.
At one stage I fetched email from the drafts, sent and trash folders but this didn't help the second bug, and it may not have helped the first bug.
Yahoo, you should be aware of these bugs!
Apple, these are bugs!

Question for Yahoo mail users on iphone

I did a check of the first 7 pages but couldnt find anything.
Have people who use Yahoo found it to be efficient. I have found that it either pushes 20-45 minutes late or doesnt push at all.
I have also had a problem (twice) where I just dont get emails or I send them and people dont get them. I deleted the account and activated it again, but I dont want to have to do that once a week.
Anyone have the same issues, or is it isolated to me. I have a gmail account as well but I was hoping to have mail pushed instead of manually checking.
FWIW: I have had no problems with the gmail account

Known issues with yahoo push mail on the iphone....your not alone.

Iphone6 mail yahoo mail problems

I have an iphone6 IOS 8.1.1.
I am currently overseas and using the phone wifi only for mail and imessage.
I definitely have an internet connection as I can browse.
Today is Saturday and as of Thursday last week my phone stopped downloading my email from Yahoo mail. I am able to send mail but unable to receive any. I can use my PC to verify that I'm receiving the mail that I send from the phone.
I tried sending myself a test message. It does send but doesn't show up on Iphone. I again checked my pc and I see the mail using the web browser.
Recently I deleted the mail account on the phone and then re-configured it hoping that would fix the problem.
Thanks

Delete Yahoo mail account on iphone

On my iphone, in the settings of "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", I have a Yahoo mail account configured. If I delete this Yahoo mail account on my iphone, will my original Yahoo mail account on Yahoo mail server get deleted together?

Bruce, I recommended for you to do that in my last post to you so you could fix your email problem. This WILL NOT delete your yahoo account from anywhere but your phone. Re-enter it after you have done so and you will start getting and being able to send your e-mails again.

I could not access my yahoo mail from my iphone 4s

I used to get my new mail automatically from my iphone 4s with wifi in my house. But 3 days ago until now I could not get my new mail. I don't know what happened with my iphone while my ipad can access my yahoo mail as usual.

When I click on mail, it just shows " checking for mail" going on for ever.

HT1430 While I open my yahoo mail, it always appear "password missing" and ask me to enter the password with 8 digit. My email password is not 8 digit. How can I re-open my yahoo mail box on iphone.

Hi Chandice
Have you tried to remove the email account and adding it back on again?

Verizon/Yahoo Mail Problems

I've looked everywhere for a similar problem to what I am experiencing, but can't find anyone who seems to be having the same thing going on. For more than a year, my family has used Verizon yahoo mail without any problems on the Apple Mail application. Nothing has changed recently, and the preferences settings have been:
POP Account
Email: [email protected]
Incoming Server: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
Outgoing server: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
Username: [email protected]
Correct password
Outgoing mail server (SMTP: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
These worked for more than a year on two separate accounts run on two separate Apple computers, until a month ago something just stopped and now we can no longer send a receive mail on these servers through apple mail. We can access the accounts on Yahoo and Verizon online, but not in Mail itself. I get the message "Enter password for Account 'Verizon.' The POP server incoming.yahoo.verizon.net rejected the passowrd for user '[email protected]' Please re-enter your password, or cancel." When the password is entered, the same message pops right back up over and over again, even though the password is right. This is happening with TWO accounts on TWO computers, and absolutely nothing is changed, not even a software update. I've been on the phone with verizon for hours, and they insist this is an Apple problem, since the server works fine off the yahoo website. I've tried deleting the account, setting it up again, using incoming.verizon.net instead of incoming.yahoo.verizon.net . . . Does anyone know what is going on, or has seen this before? It's getting really inconvenient to have these accounts offline when nothing has happened.

Okay, I was finally able to get in touch with someone at Verizon who knew what is going on. I guessed that something had happened at Verizon or Yahoo between when this was working and when it wasn't, and I was right. Apparently, Yahoo cancelled its POP service as a portal partner with Verizon, making it impossible to people to access mail on outside POP accounts such as Outlook or Apple Mail. They said they sent out an email warning people this would happen, but I know we didn't get it. The rep explained that in order to access mail on outside applications, you have to switch to Windows Live as a portal partner (whether or not you have Mac, it still works). All you have to do on Mail is switch to incoming.verizon.net (deleting the yahoo). Use ports 110 and 25 (the defaults) instead of 110 and 587. If using a Mac, set up Windows Live by visiting http://www.verizon.net/getlivenow Then enter the primary account email address and password. It will want to download software (which won't work on a Mac), so choose custom installation and uncheck all downloads. All accounts linked to the primary will switch in about an hour. There is one caveat: all of your email on your verizon yahoo server will be deleted and WILL NOT TRANSFER OVER. Make sure to save all important emails to your computer before making the switch. To access email online, you just use Verizon webmail instead of Verizon/Yahoo mail off of the yahoo site. Hope that helps anyone with this problem!
