You may just need to wait a bit. Yahoo is perpetually messing with their servers, and when they mess with the one your account is on you can't get mail until they stop.

give it a few hours then try again. In the meantime you can access your mail via safari and yahoo.com or you could use their mobile app.

Try the work around until tomorrow, then try to add your account again. It'll either resolve on its own or please post back and there may be more in depth things to try with your mail settings.

This started on Saturday. I have the same issue. I reloaded the Verizon yahoo app. Deleted the account and reloaded. All to no avail.

the account works fine via Safari. The password is ok. Maybe so,done at Apple could weigh in on the issue?

BUt the servers have to be fine if i am able to sent and receive on my iphone?

After a day and a half of waiting for it to fix itself, I did an full erase and restored my Ipad from an Icloud back up. It is working now. Not sure why.

A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
