Yahoo email not working in mail app with iOS 11

Tried everything. No solutions. Work around is to put yahoo mail app on iPhone and use that.

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!

This seemed to work so far. I just toggled the “other” button to on and made sure my password was correct. Thank you

This is what I had to do with mine. I had to turn the AOL server off. It’s worked so far for me. Hope this helps.

Very welcome. Sorry this didn't work for you.

If you decide you don't want to wait, reach out to Apple support to assist you :)

Replying to my own email here ... I just tried adding the Yahoo account in iOS Mail and it worked this time.

This is on an iPhone 7 Plus running iOS 11.2.5, fyi

I and others have come across the same issue. Yahoo's servers have been down for days. I only found out this evening. I recall this happening not long ago as well

same here. Not working on native iOS mail app but works fine on the yahoo app. Yahoo must of changed something to be incompatible with outgoing mail on native IOS app (IOS 11 and also previous IOS versions as well acting the same).

My wife started complaining of this issue this morning, then when I tried to send her a test email, my iPhone 5s started doing exactly the same. Now we can both receive emails but not send. Weird that it's only just started when emails were working fine until now. Tried several recommended setups, but no luck... Anyone got a solution for this yet?

Yes. Exact same issue that started last night. Gmail is OK, but cannot send from Yahoo.

My wife has the same setup and is not having issues sending. Only difference is she has a 6S and I have a 7Plus but both on ISO 11 and using the app. Hard one to figure out but I did not change anything on my end before the issue started. Same issue on my ipad pro as well. Everything sends OK from the web site.

I uploaded the Yahoo ap (which I do not like) but am able to send and receive emails. So until Apple figures this out I will be using this garbage. And also I disabled banners but am still getting them flooding my lock screen.. beyond annoying.

Same problem. All began a few updates ago often my yahoo mail in iOS mail app disappears all together then begins a download which takes hours. Also not getting all mail but mail comes to yahoo app instantly. Called Apple 7 times over months. No one can help or told they never heard of that before. Reset phone 3X. Deleted yahoo mail re installed. Same problem. Can only rely on yahoo app which stinks to not be able to use iOS built in email app. Apple glitch issue? Yahoo issue ? Months later no one can answer.

Thanks I just saw same complaints. Didn’t read specific instructions how to fix will sift through all threads again and yes assume it’s yahoo and issue with yahoo after recent updates. Just sad no one at yahoo or Apple can suggest a fix. The world we live in i guess

Thank you for the information. I will definitely try this. Yes, it is certainly frustrating when you can’t rely on the mail app to update and frankly just plain work with something as fundamental as our emails, which most of us rely on for most of our communication. Hopefully, Apple will figure it out.
