I want to add a yahoo alias email address ? I try to add but it says I already have a yahoo email address.

On my iPhone I go to settings, mail, accounts, add new, then go through the steps by choosing yahoo and entering my 2nd/alias yahoo address and password, but then it says that I already have a yahoo account setup on my iPhone. Then I try to set it up manually by choosing other and it still won’t work. I want to be able to choose the email address that is shown when I send emails. It used to work but I changed yahoo the yahoo password so mail asked me to re-enter it. Wont take it. Either says it’s a mismatch or already in use.

please help? This is driving me nuts.

Hey there yosemiteg,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having issues adding your Yahoo email alias to your iPhone. We’ll be happy to help.

If the address is just an alias, Mail may be viewing this as one account and that’s why you cannot add it. You may want to remove the account completely from your iPhone, and then add it back but set it up under the alias. To do this, go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts. Tap the email account that you want to remove and then Delete Account. You can read how to add your account again here:

Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Take care.
