Yahoo mail sending at snails pace Iphone 4 in Wi-Fi not 3G

I setup Yahoo mail from add account (and re-set it up) and sending is taking a long time over 5 minutes or not at all. Periodically a message pops up Coonection to outgoing server failed "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com"....Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings, etc.

Google has been fine. The problem has been with Wi-Fi more so than 3G. Edited and updated, both are fine now, it was probably a timeout issue as you mantioned. Thanks.

You either remove your Yahoo email address from the device or you turn of the 'Mail' option for that account under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

I can only send messages to other iPhones and I am not allowed to make or receive calls

I can only send messages to other iPhones and I am not allowed to make or receive calls at all not even iphones.

You must have a SIM card installed ( if applicable ) and have your iPhone activated to make calls or text mobile phones.

hi - i posted this in another thread but meant to post it here - oops - i've been following this thread and others for days now - i also have been having safari/email 'sending message content to server failed'/flash 10 plugin problems since latest security/java/qt software update - here's what i recommend and what i'll be doing from now on - before i install any updates via software update i'll be saving the download/installers to a folder as suggested in another topic thread - next i'll be disconnecting my router - and connecting the modem directly to the computer - bypassing the router - once i'm sure configurations/internet/mail are functioning correctly i'll connect the router - all this time my problems were with my router port settings - not safari or flash 10 plugin or mail app - go figure - hope this helps - peace!

How to use standard yahoo mail in Safari on my iPhone?

I try to get my mail through safari on my iphone using regular web-based yahoo mail. After I sign in, there is a toolbar at the bottom that has buttons like delete, compose mail etc. It was not there in the first place but I don't know what I pressed and it showed up. Is there any way to hide that toolbar?

Why would you want to use web based Yahoo mail when the iPhone supports Yahoo mail in the native mail client, even if it's not a premium account?
Just set up your yahoo account in Mail.

Mail & Yahoo Mail Sending problems

Hello all, I have finally admitted defeat. I have been using Apple Mail to pick up my Yahoo Mail for a long time without any issues. Suddenly it has decided to not send emails...and I have no idea why.
I got the settings off of Yahoo's site. The pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk settings work but it seems that the smtp settings are the ones creating the issues. Currently they are smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk / server port 465 / SSL checked and authenicating with a password. I have used the connection doctor and it says that both incoming and outgoing connections are good.
Anyway, after trawling through the forums on Yahoo and here I have tried deleting all prefs, re-inputting all of the above information. No joy. I have tried changing the port to 587. No joy. I have tried turning off SSL and switching to port 110. No juice.
I have tried the same settings in Entourage but that doesn't work either. So, I am now throwing myself at these boards to see if someone - anyone - has a solution that doesn't require a stamp and an envelope.
Man, I can build and rig straight down the pipe but I can't send an email! Hummph.

Hi
I too am having problems sending email from my Yahoo accounts. I contacted Yahoo support and they sent me this to try.
1. Launch the "Terminal" application located in the "Applications:
Utilities" folder.
2. At the text prompt, type "telnet pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk 110" and press
the "Enter/Return" key. If you're successful, you should now see "+OK
hello from popgate." If you don't see this, close the window and start
over or check your Internet or network connection to make sure you're
logged on.
3. From this screen, type "user xxx" (where xxx is your Yahoo! ID) and
press "Enter/Return." You should be prompted with "+OK password
required."
4. Type "pass yyy" (where yyy is your case-sensitive password) and press
"Enter/Return." If this is successful, you should receive a prompt with
"+OK maildrop ready," followed by mailbox details. If this was not
successful, you'll receive "-ERR Error logging in. Please visit
http://ymailuk.com/."
5. Type "quit" and press "Enter" to sign off the POP server.
6. Type "exit" and press "Enter" to return to Windows.
If you weren't able to get the POP authentication during the first try,
please wait a few minutes and try again. After several tries, you should
be able to tell if your ID and password will allow you to achieve POP
authentication.
Next, check if you are able to communicate with the Yahoo! Mail Plus
SMTP server. Here's how:
1. Launch the "Terminal" application located in the "OS X Applications:
Utilities" folder.
2. At the text prompt, type "telnet smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk 25" and press
the "Enter/Return" key. If the port is not blocked, you should receive a
response similar to "220 smtpxxx.mail.yahoo.co.uk ESMTP" (where "xxx" is
the server number you connected to). If you don't receive this specific
response or if you get a different response, your ISP, networking
equipment, or security software may be blocking or scanning outgoing
mail servers.
NOTE: Please also try port 587 in place of 25. It's important that you
try the alternate port, as some ISPs will block port 25 by default.
Though it does mention Mail Plus in the instructions and I don't have MailPlus I was able to connect using port 587 to the SMTP Server.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Yahoo mail has stopped updating on iPhone 6 (OS 8.1.2)

I use Yahoo mail, and on my iPhone 6 the Mail program has refused to update in the last 24 hours. I cannot download or display any new mail, nor delete/trash any messages. I changed no settings before this became a problem. I've tried deleting the account and re-adding it, to new avail. Is anyone else having this problem? Any guesses?
Thanks,
Jeff

When I try to delete messages I get an error message: "Unable to move message -- The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash", but those are the only error messages, not getting any others.
I am getting the usual notifications at the bottom of the page, i.e. "Updated just now - 1 unread," but the display of actual messages has not changed since roughly 6:30 PM yesterday.

Yahoo Mail Suddenly Stopped working on iphone !!!!!

I do have yahoo mail on my iphone for a while and it was working perfect.
Few days ago I got:
Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for "[email protected]" is incorrect.
but I do not have this problem when I login from my PC.
When I try to set up my email from I phone again. Here is what I got:
Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for “imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com” is incorrect.
I can make all my friends’ yahoo mail work on my I phone but only the one mail account used to be working fine does not working now.
Can someone help me?
Thanks!

Suddenly unable las 36 hrs to access yahoo mail server on iPad and iPhone. What is going on, how to fix? Have tried resetting mail accounts to no avail.

Unable to access yahoo mail server on iPad suddenly last 36 hrs. Can anyone assist?

Hold off on purchasing stuff. I got my problem solved going through Apple Support for free. I'll try to walk you through this but bear in mind I've only done it once with an Apple Tech Support manager on line.
Basically you have to clear your keychain. Go to Finder Menu, Select Go, select utilities, select Keychain Access
Once you are in keychain access you may have to enter a password to unlock the keychain
Once unlocked, select preferences and then reset my keychain.
This is where I am fuzzy on what we did but as I recall that was all that was necessary with respect to the keychain access.
Save the changes
Go to the mail program, delete your existing account
Add a new account
De-select the option to automatically set up your account (VERY IMPORTANT)
Enter your email account info for @me.com
On the incoming mail server page
Enter the account type as IMAP
Enter the account description as iCloud
Enter the incoming mail server to imap.mail.me.com
on the outgoing mail server page
Enter the account description as iCloud
Enter the outgoing mail server to smtp.mail.me.com
Check use only this server
And your problems SHOULD be solved
If I were you, before messing with the Keychain stuff I'd try editing the incoming and outgoing server address in the mail program first to see if that's a shortcut.
Good luck!

My yahoo mail wont open. It opens in IE but not in Firefox. Its just stays in page loading mode and never actually loading or going to an error page. Can you help?

I also have a problem with my Facebook page where the page doesn't fully load and I cannot see the people who are live in chat.
I have been able to login on occasion by googling yahoo mail and logging through the Google link but that is not working tonight.
Paul

By the way, the safari setting is: private browsing off and accept cookies from visited. Much help is appreciated!

How do I enable Firefox 4 to do a search on more than one word (e.g. "yahoo mail") without receiving the error message "the URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"?

After loading Firefox 4.0, I changed the address bar search engine to Google Search by Name, so I'd be taken straight to the most relevant webpage when I type in a word.
It works fine when I type in one word, but if I use a search with more than one word (e.g. "yahoo mail" or "google maps") I get an alert saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded". Is there any way I can fix the address bar to accept multiple word searches?
I've tried disabling all my add-ons, but it didn't make any difference.

Hi, this should sort out your problem:
1. Type in "about:config" into the address bar, this will open the settings menu. Click on "I'll be careful, I promise!"
2. Search for "keyword.URL" in the filter bar.
3. Enter "http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=" into the value field.
I'm no expert, but I had the same problem which got on my nerves after being so used to being able to type anything in, and following these steps fixed it.

Firefox will no longer let me access my Yahoo mail due to a certificate problem, and it will not let me add an exception. How do I get into my email?

I have been using this computer and firefox to access my yahoo mail for like 4 years now, but today it decided to stop allowing it, due to a problem with the security certificate. It says: "This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate." I checked my email successfully early today, but now I can't. I can still get it with internet explorer, but not firefox. How do I fix this?

Take easy and follow some steps:
click on link: mail.yahoo.com
if not opening then can you find there a notification like "blocked"
if yes : Click on that and then select continue without block or any option like that.
Then click the upper yahoo link again .
if you succeeded ,please click on solution,
if not <sub>Edited out by a Moderator, please do not advertise for work</sub>
