Not being able to add a yahoo alias mailbox on iPhone mail

How can I add an alias/second yahoo email address to my phone mail? 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 email 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 show but then it said my pswd was wrong so I reset it and it still said it was wrong so I deleted the 2nd email address thinking I would just re-add it ** now I can’t...

Hello Lilou3456,

We understand that you are trying to add a second email account on your iPhone. We’d like to help however we can.

To confirm, is this email address completely separate from your main Yahoo account or are the two email addresses tied to the same account?

What exactly happened when you tried to add the account manually? Did you get an error message of some kind? Use this resource to look up the email settings as well:

Mail Settings Lookup

Which version of iOS is your iPhone running?

Find the software version on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod

Cheers!
