Yesterday, my inbound email with Yahoo stopped working.after 10:10 AM EST. Outbound works fine. My gmail account works fine. Inbound email with Yahoo on my Android phone works fine. I have reentered all my credentials in the mail settings for yahoo but this has not helped.I do not want to delete the account and create a new one as I don't want to lose my current email in the sent folder.Any other suggestions?
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 8.1.3
This is a known yahoo issues, either delete and reinstall the email account or download the yahoo email app. Or contact yahoo.
Thanks for the reply. I do not believe this is a yahoo problem. I have already contacted them and they are not experiencing any problems and it is working on my Android phone. Since I cannot see POP settings for Yahoo (only SMTP) I cannot see if they are correct or reenter a password.I just set up a new mail account in the ipad, and it is now working correctly. I think the problem has to do with the apple pop settings and my business yahoo pop settings. Although I have been using it this way for 2 years and this is the first time I experienced this problem😕.
I've had yahoo for years, and yahoo on my iPad or iPod for years and I've experienced random outages. Sometimes it's via my computer, sometimes it's via my iPad or iPod.
Most issues resolve themselves in a few days, others are cured by deleting/readding the info.
Although neither Apple or Yahoo will ever admit it, I tend to believe that it's Yahoo's issue, simply because if it were Apple's then there would be a lot more people with issues than the random issues we see here. My theory is as Yahoo works on/messes with the server that holds your mail, you will have issues.
If you're not willing to delete/re-add then you may just have to wait and see if it fixes itself. Or you may need the work around of using yahoo's app or accessing your mail via safari and yahoo's mobile site
Thanks. I agree with your response. I have both accounts setup now and the new one seems to work although it cannot do a push only a fetch. I'm going to wait awhile until either it fixes itself (as you state) or delete the older account after awhile and just use the new account.
HHaving same issue having same issue this am. Have deleted account on iPad several times..won't correct. Can receive on iPhones or directly via safari or Yahoo App.. Guess I'll wait to see what happens with Yahoo.
Looks like what ever the issue was, it resolved itself. It is now working again.
