Seems i found a solution..


go to settings, mail, yahoo, account, advanced, rules, then check that all the 4 settings are sets to "on iPhone".

then quit saving.


actually seems that it worked for me.

sorry if the words are not exactly these that you'll find, but i'm on a italian iPhone and i translated from italian.



hope it helps.

actually the pop-up never shown back, before that solution it camed out from everywhere, even while calling someone!



ciao

I had the same problem with one of my users. In this case it was a Yahoo for Small Business account, that was "linked" to his personal Yahoo account. Both accounts were repeatedly asking him to re-enter his Username and Password, with a frequency of about 1-2 Days, after the information was reentered, or the account deleted and re-added. After talking with Yahoo for Business (Aabaco) support a couple of time we seem to have solve the problem. I ended up deleting his Yahoo Small Business account and manually re-adding it by following the the instructions here: "https://help.luminate.com/kb/set-business-mail-imap-native-ios-email-app-sln1748 3". (NOTE: that the smtp server is not the typical end-user smtp server.) Also you Do NOT need to set up 2-Step Security. (i.e. an App Password). You can use the normal password for the account. It has not re-appeared for several days, so hopefully this problem has been solved.
