I can't send or receive emails from my Yahoo account. I get my gmail and icloud mail but no yahoo mail. I've uninstalled my yahoo email account and now cannot re-install it on my iphone. Any idea what to do now?

What can I do to send and receive emails again from my yahoo account to my iphone 6s? I can send and receive from my icloud and gmail but not my yahoo.


Can anyone help? And yes I've tried turning it off and on and I uninstalled my yahoo but can't reinstall it now.

Hello Starfish5000,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're unable to send or receive Yahoo emails on your iPhone, and you're also unable to reinstall it. Are you attempting to reinstall an app to your device or add the email account to Settings? Do you get an error message? Are you able to access your Yahoo email from Yahoo's webpage? Please also take a look at the following to verify that your mail settings are correct if adding directly to Settings.


Mail Settings Lookup


Have a great day.

Thank you for your suggestions. I can access my email account from my mac, but not my phone. I have 3 accounts....one is icloud, one is gmail and the one I'm having trouble with is my ameritech.net account. To get to my ameritech account I go to google, then yahoo mail, on my phone I can access my account, not just straight to my email accounts. However, I went to settings yesterday, and removed the ameritech account from my emails in hopes of adding it back and still today, even after double checking and going to yahoo mail and that letting me access it on my phone, I still cannot add it back as another email account. When I log in and put in the password, it says:


Settings

Mail

Accounts

Add account

Choose yahoo

Sign in username

I enter my password

redirected to a different screen with the AT &T logo but with Yahoo at the top

Loginprodx.att.net

Sign in now....again because it's a different looking screen

user name

password

Next screen says in small red letters at the top. Unknown destination


At least I can access my ameritech.net account from my phone but with 3-4 extra steps instead of just tapping on the envelope.

Any more ideas? Thank you so much for your help.
