Deleted Yahoo from ios mail and cannot add it back

I have tried at least a dozen times but it keeps going back to the add account screen. I can access my Yahoo account on my computer and via the Yahoo Mail app, but I really need it back on ios mail with all my other email accounts.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, amkingcpa17!


I understand you tried to add your Yahoo email account to your iPhone, but you've been unable to. I'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.


Use the steps in the following article: Set up or remove a Yahoo Mail account in the iOS Mail app

If it reverts you back to the screen to add your email, restart your iPhone and try again: Restart your iPhone


Have a great day!

Seeing the exact same thing on my new iPad7 running iPadOS 13.3 just purchased today. I added my iCloud and Gmail accounts without issues. The Yahoo account fails to add and drops back to the Add Account screen with no error or notification just like the users above. Other reports on other threads too. Something is definitely amiss here and I suspect it’s Yahoo.
