ios9 - can't add yahoo password

Thanks! It works! 🙂

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.

OK, this answer and help was very good for me in re establishing my business mail account but I only had to do this part below I did not have to change IMAP

1. Tap Settings.
   
2. Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
3. Tap Add Account.
4. Tap Other.
5. Tap Add Mail Account.
6. Enter the following:
   • Name - The name you want on your outgoing email.
   • Email - Your full Business Mail email address.
   • Password - Your app password.
   • Description - A descriptive name for your account.
7. Tap Next.

Tried this. First I receive an SSL error, and then it tells me the incoming mail server name is wrong.

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.

arriley 123 - which "fix" are you trying to implement? The original poster's or mine @ 9/20/15?

It seems like the one I posted has been working for all who tried.

When I added my Yahoo mail back this way, I lost access to my Yahoo Contacts. I had to add them separately by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Contacts: Add CardDAV Accounts

The settings are

Server: carddav.address.yahoo.com

User Name: (your Yahoo! login name. You don't need "@yahoo.com")

Password: (your Yahoo! password)

Description: (call it whatever you want. I call mine "Yahoo! Contacts")

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

Jepicone,

Thanks, this helped me! Wasn't sure how to get Yahoo Contacts back and this worked.

Thank you! 🙂

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.
