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] .

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....

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??

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.

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.

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?

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.

Yahoo Mail gone on iPhone 6

My Yahoo mail stopped updating on my iPhone 6. Tried restarting, didn't work. Deleted Yahoo mail and readded. Now there is no email at all,even ones prior to day. Just says "No Mail". Working fine on my iPad 2 that has current IOS 8 software. Can anybody help??

Did you set up using the built-in "Yahoo!" option when adding an account? I've never set up a Yahoo account before, so I don't know if it uses IMAP or POP3. In order to see the email that's in your account, you would need to ensure that you're using IMAP, as POP3 won't keep your devices in-sync with each other. IMAP will. If using the built-in Yahoo! option doesn't work ,then try adding the account settings manually using the "Other" option.
These instructions look legitimate:

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.

TS2621 How do I get my yahoo mail on my Iphone 4S?

How do I get my yahoo mail on i phone 4s pushed so I get notifications when I receive e-mails?

ht4810 - hope that helps but other than that... Settings / mail contacts and calendars - will be your only mail and push options. - i notice you may need to open mail app for new emails to be pushed to your device- other than that how ever long you have it set (every 15 minutes for example) is how often it will check for new emails for ya!
