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
Just been playing around with this some more... I deleted the account (again) but when I re-installed it, instead of choosing the preset "yahoo" setup option l clicked "other", then manually set up the account using the following settings
incoming Server
Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
Now seems to be working and I have successfully sent and received emails
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Apps with outdated security now require you grant them access in Yahoo Mail.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.
Gregg279, what did you put for incoming user name? Is it my email address?
This is a Yahoo issue. Apple Mail application communicates directly with Yahoo servers. If Yahoo servers are giving Apple Mail application mixed communications then it a Yahoo server issue.
Thanks Gregg279.... Manually configuring incoming with imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing with smtp.mail.yahoo.com as mentioned in SLN3702 has fixed this annoying problem for me. Cheers
