My yahoo email is not updating the inbox after I upgraded to iOS 11.0.1. The junk (spam) email still works but not the inbox. I have removed it and rebooted several times. The yahoo mail app works fine but I do not want to use it permanently. Any thoughts?
iPhone 7, iOS 11.0.1
I would like to share with everyone my solution to this problem, as I had been experiencing the exact same issue for the last few months. I have read through this entire thread and through everyone's comments. The following steps are guranteed to fix your problem:
1) Delete your current yahoo mail account on your iphone
settings
2) Sign into your yahoo mail account from any computer (mail.yahoo.com)
Once signed in, go up to the top right corner and place the mouse icon over your name (in between the settings and the home icons,) and a window will pop up. Click on 'Account Info.'
3) Create a new yahoo mail account on your phone
settings
4) Your yahoo mail should now be working normally through your apple mail app on your iphone, however I would send a test email to yourself just to make sure
5) Finally, go back to your computer to the Yahoo Account Security page that you previously left open, and this time, DISABLE the option that says 'Allow Apps That Use Less Secure Sign In.'
If done correctly, these steps will fix the problem, while not compromising your security. The biggest issue is the Yahoo Account Key.
Here is what yahoo help says: Can't send or receive Yahoo email in a third-party app
This means there's something wrong with the app. You can download the Yahoo Mail app from the app store and use that instead or do any of the following:
Apps with outdated security now require you grant them access in Yahoo Mail.
Delete Yahoo Mail from the app and re-add it. Steps for mobile:
Contact your app manufacturer for additional troubleshooting options.
When I went thru the delate/add process in Apple App - it made me go thru the Access key step. I have an account key - that I had just setup a day ago - maybe that forces me down the Access Key path. Nonetheless the Yahoo help clearly says "now require you grant them access" - this simply means Access key.
Everybody to their own opinion and interpretation.
I totally agree with you is just nonsense.
I have to retrace my earlier comment from yesterday when I said that I thought I found a solution... well, is not true. This morning my Yahoo emails are not coming in again so the App password doesn't fix it!.
you should be able to recreate your yahoo account after you restart your phone.
I am calling Apple support again now.
Exact same problem. Started last night.
Yup it has happened to me as well and started last night. I can send outgoing mail via my Mac but iPad and iPhone wont work.
Not an iOS issue. Is happening on my iPhone running iOS 11 and my iPad running iOS 9.
I am having the same problem. I called Apple care and the tech had same problem.
You can tell Apple it’s not iOS 11issue as occurring also on my iPad running iOS 9.
I am going to call again. It’s so frustrating that you can no longer change passwords through settings. I’m ready to delete my yahoo account bc I’m so frustrated.
I have the same issue. I receive all of my Yahoo emails but cannot send frommy iPhone. Have rebooted, removed and replaced. Beyond annoying and frustrating- does anyone have a solution? Thanks.
Have the same exact problem with Yahoo mail on wife’s IPad. My Yahoo account works fine with difference being I use the Yahoo mail app. (Hate the app configuration, but mail is still working.)
It’s definitely not an iOS 11 issue. Same issue started yesterday on iPhone with iOS 11 AND ALSO ON OLD IPAD RUNNING IOS 9.
Tried everything. No solutions. Work around is to put yahoo mail app on iPhone and use that.
My yahoo account receives mail, but it won’t let me send any mail, it says my password or username is incorrect and it is so frustrating!
When you typed in your user name did you include the @yahoo.com. ?
I did, yes. But using your suggestion, when I tried adding with manual settings (which had also been not working) when I specified full email address as username, it worked!
Thank you!
