ios9 - can't add yahoo password

iOS 9.01 update broke Yahoo Mail again this morning. Adding it through "Other Account" got me working again. I had deleted it on Monday when my regular account came back to life.

I can get Yahoo POP mail working on my iPad where I don't want it but not on my iMac where I do. AOL POP mail has worked just fine but it doesn't host my domain.

I need to find another hosting company -- this is ridiculous. I pay way too much to Yahoo for terrible service.

I saw the update to 9.01 on my phone. Sorry, but I was waiting for someone else to try before I bought...

Looks like any 9.xx update will crash Yahoo Small Business email until that specific problem is addressed.

I'll stick with 9.0 and this work-around until I hear otherwise.

The workaround works just fine in iOS 9.01.

I had deleted the workaround on Monday when Yahoo mail started working again. When it failed with the 9.01 update, I redid it and it's fine. The original Yahoo mailbox is still not working.

The way to check is to look at your mailboxes. If you see the same number of unread email in both boxes, everything is working again. Right now I'm seeing it only in the Other Account In box.

Tried this for the second time. Still tells me it cannot connect via SSL, and asks me if I want to try without. I respond with OK, and I receive this message...The IMAP server "imap.mail.yahoo.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "incoming Mail Server" field.

I don't have Business Mail. So the fix I'm trying I is posted in the original to setup an Other with the Incoming Server set to

imap.mail.yahoo.com

and the Outgoing Server as

smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Last Friday my yahoo email decided to stop working on my iPad2. When I went into email a message would pop up cannot get mail. it said my username or password was incorrect. I therefore went into yahoo via a web page and the username and password were correct. I could acces my email. I checked my details in case there was anything untoward but all looked OK. So I go back to re-enter my password knowing it is correct.

I then get this message:-

Uh-Oh!

You must meet certain age requirements to perform this action. Please visit our help centre for further information.

I tried to recover but again it didn't like what I entered.

I am glad I read this post and the threads, as I have now added my account and can see my emails on the iPad. I will leave my old account in hope that Yahoo resolves.

Thanks

I am grateful for a lot of these suggestions in regards to trying to recover my yahoo business email account on my iOS 9 iphone and iPad, but I couldn't figure them out. The only temporary solution that worked for me is downloading the yahoo mail app on my iphone and iPad 🙂 and I can send and receive emails from my business account.

So... I had to do all these steps with my iphone 6 back when I first got the phone - has it been a year now? These steps worked fine. My wife's phone, just today, stopped receiving her business emails (we have our own domain name so it's a business account) and I've tried to add it with every recommendation here - and she's still just receiving her 'yahoo' emails and not her 'business' emails. Frustrating. I've deleted, re-provisioned, changed server ports, everything... and nothing. If I send an email, she has the choice of her 'business' email address but not receiving any of them. Anyone come up with an alternate solution for this? p.s. for the past 2 years I've threatened to transfer my domain name and find a new email host and I've chickened out. I don't like the functionality of google, and WAS going to godaddy for the transfer and use their email services but scares me... maybe I should just sunset the business account and start over - seems like a major PITA but Yahoo is just SO horrible.

This works in iOS 9.01. Here it is, screen by screen, exactly as you will see it.

1. Go to Settings

2. Then select "Mails, Contacts,and Calendars"

3. Add account

4. Select "Other" and select "Add Mail Account"

Name: Your Name

Email: Your business email address: name@yourdomain.com

Password: password for your business email

Description: will autofill from your business domain

5. Select "Next"

6. It defaults to IMAP at the top of the screen – the bar is blue – but you can also select POP. The following is for IMAP only.

INCOMING MAIL SERVER

Host Name: imap.mail.yahoo.com

User name: Your business email address: name@yourdomain.com

Password: password for your business email

OUTGOING MAIL SERVER

Host Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com

User name: Your business email address: name@yourdomain.com

Password: password for your business email

7. Select "Next"

8. Slide Mail and Notes to ON

9. Save

When you check email, nothing will display till you go to your Mailboxes and select one or more.

Still doesn't work for me. keeps saying user name or password for imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect.

I've been trying this for days now. the update 9.01 really messed it up, and Apple knows it. updated today to 9.02, and retried your instructions above, with the same no-luck.

I'm sure I've got the correct password. I just double checked it by logging out my email on my laptop, and relogged in.

I've tried everything here at least a dozen times and nothing is working yet. The yahoo mail app is awful, and actually now the yahoo online (that my iPad can access) isn't accessing my business account either. Where are the help articles for switching away from yahoo?????

>Still doesn't work for me. keeps saying user name or password for imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect<

If you are seeing that, it's talking to the server and not recognizing your account. If you select Yahoo from the dropdown list, it won't work. You must manually set up using Other Account.

Yes, I selected "other account". Tried 3 times last night alone. The instructions are very well written and very clear. But every time...."user name or password for imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect".

SSame issue

y email stopped working a couple of days ago I am at 9,01 on iPad and 9.02 on iphone

i have tried the act instructions and I get an SSL issue or password not correct

i went to yahoo support pages and it mentioned that you need to use an app password not your emIl password

i generate an app password but same error

THe yahoo mail app will Also not show my business email, nor will logging on to yahoo via my Mac. I have to go the small business users site

It worked for my personal yahoo account by just following along and omitting the biz part. Thanks
