I can't access my yahoo mail on my iPhone. I get the error message...."The connection to the server "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" on port 993 timed out"......is the apple server having issues? anyone else have this problem?
iPhone 4
I am having this problem as well..started this morning. I suspect it's a Yahoo issue. I was able to sign in to my Yahoo email account through my desktop, but could not access the account through the mobile site or through the mail app on the iPhone. I chatted with a Yahoo support representative for about an hour and he was able to restore access to my mail through the mobile website, but the problem (incorrect username/password) continues on the mail app. He was trying to suggest the mail app on my phone had been corrupted, but my two other email accounts on the app are working perfectly. This is really irritating, and they made no mention that others are experiencing the same problem. He told me there was nothing else he could do to help me. I hope this is an issue they resolve quickly. Please report if you get a resolution to the problem.
you have to pay for yahoo to be on your mac or ipod if it is yahoo.com but if it is yahoo.ca, you should be fine
Actually, that isn't quite true Blake. I have yahoo.com on my Mac and it is free. It only requires payment if want the version with no ads and you want support.
this worked! thank you so much! now i can send and receive using the iphone mail icon and not the mobile yahoo site - brilliant --- FYI for those of you who are going to try this - you will not have all of your mailboxes and it does not sync well with your desktop version (i.e. if you delete messageon iphone; it will still be on your desktop version) - but way better than the mobile site
I did complain to Yahoo; no response.
My email is now working - it just started on it's own. My account information was all filled out - I saved it even though I got an error message stating it may not be correct - and all of the sudden, I am gettting mail.
I tried the alternate smtp, no difference. I tried the POP plus settings, no difference.
My iPhone just came back up using the original settings.
It looks like Yahoo fixed their issue with the server.
I've been getting mail too but takes forever and a day to send an email.
Mine seems to be working now. I just received messages on my phone from yesterday until just now and they were pushed! Keeping my fingers crossed it keeps working.
Looks like Yahoo is sending mail again. I received mail about 2 hours ago. Notes still haven't updated. I will check the iPad when I get home to see what it's doing.
It's Working Now!
Incoming mail is working for me, but...
like LauraMackie Outgoing mail is not yet working for me..
Cannot Send Mail The connection to the outgoing server "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Hey encinitas, my outgoing mail is working just now! Yay!
Happy day! Everything seems to be back to normal. Thanks for the suggestions and support everyone!
Ditto - double yay! Send and receive from all i devices is AOk!! Thanks everyone and have a great Friday!
Happens to me often, and mostly on my MAC.
I found that if I go to Yahoo mail on the web, sign out and sign back in, it works again.
