This just started happening. I get a good amount of emails throughout the day in my Yahoo mail box and now it is saying no new messages. When I go to a desktop, there clearly are new messages. I have tried different WIFI accounts, cell data, restarted the device, hard closed the mail app and uninstalled and reinstalled the email account. When I reinstalled it, it updated to show current emails, but will not update again.
iPhone X, iOS 11.1.2
Have you tried setting up yahoo account manually? Instead of choosing "Yahoo", select "Other" from the list and set up everything manually

This is what yahoo account provides..
Ways to securely access Yahoo Mail
By default, we block access to Yahoo Mail from outdated apps that could leave your account vulnerable. If we sent you an email indicating that your app is using outdated security protocols or you're unable to log in from an older app, you still have several options available to you.
Secure options to access Yahoo Mail
Give temporary access to outdated third-party apps
While you switch apps or update your app, you can give the old app temporary access. Just remember, this is not intended for permanent access and you'll want to turn it off afterwards.Once the feature is turned on, you'll get regular alerts reminding you to turn it off. To do so, just follow the steps above and turn off "Allow apps that use less secure sign in."

I also remarked that I have 3 yahoo accounts- the oldest one done years ago does not upgrade and in the internal look of it differs from newer ones that upgrade. I suspect here that various solutions works differently based upon that. I have used the Allow apps that use less secure sign in.... but I am not 100% satisfied...
IS YAHOO TRYING TO GET MORE PEOPLE PAY FOR THEIR ACCOUNT OR APP?
For whatever it's worth, I got Yahoo! email to update on my iPhone X after:
I have not given it a day yet, as others have experienced the '24 hour and gone' phenomenon, but I'm able to get emails to my Yahoo account through mail app right now, fetching automatically with badge updates. It's worth noting that my old iPhone 6 is working fine for Yahoo mail through this whole ordeal, and also worth noting that just deleting the account and adding back (even with quits and reboots) did nothing for me, so I suspect that the Yahoo settings is ultimately what did it. The only thing I did not test was the last step, but so far, turning account key back on hasn't stopped emails from coming in. Good luck to you. I'm hoping that this fix sticks.
I had the same issue. Tried removing my account and putting it back, but with no success because I was using Apples default Yahoo parameters.
Here is what worked for me:
Incoming Server:
Outgoing Server:
Once I did that, my mails were synced correctly. I am guessing that the default Yahoo parameters used by Apple are not the most efficient ones.
Hope this works for you too.
Cheers!
Your error seems to show that the server information is correct, but the login is wrong.
I tried to check and there is nothing to do to enable IMAP for Yahoo, so that doesn't seem to be the issue.
Here are some things you could try:
Other than that, not sure what could be causing the issue.
Don't recall giving any instructions but try this. I have removed yahoo account and add it manually using IMAP. Below are incoming and outgoing email settings.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
Haven't had any issue for past 4 days and counting.
Let me know how is that working for you.
Sure
Hello. I have been having this same issue for the last couple of days and I have already done all of the suggested steps to no avail. I know my email is working because it works on all other platforms and it was working just fine on my phone until a couple days ago. Is this an update issue?
I am having the same problem. I have deleted the Yahoo account and tried to set up again. It now says that Yahoo is already installed but the account doesn't show in the mail app.
Tried contacting apple support but the link doesn't work on the website :-(
I believe this is due to yahoo wanting to force people to use their APP, one needs to deactivate some security setting on one's yahoo account, which enables a "less secured" (says Yahoo) connection than via their app. Once done.. seems to work.. for how long? I have one yahoo account that still keeps feeding okay while the other does not. However I am still unhappy because the IPhone shows that account as "yahoo!" instead of account name... grr..
Hey Guys,
One of the technicians helped me to solve the problem,here is what you need to do:
Settings—->Accounts &password——>
choose yahoo mail——>choose account——>choose Outgoing server SMTP——>Choose Add Server——>host Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com, and then your email address and your emails password, press SAVE, then you will receive email on time !
IT WORKED!
I think I went in the securities parameters in my yahoo account... but I am only 50% satisfied. Sometimes it updates sometimes not.. given that this yahoo account is my main account I am still dissatisfied,
account settings> security> authorise applications that use a lower level of security... but as I said one account works fine (unfortunately my less important account) while the other the most important.. does not. Updates are random. The email counter updates but not the emails.. I am really not happy with this!
Hello. Did anyone find a reliable solution for this? Nothing has really worked for me. I tried setting up my yahoo accounts in outlook app and it works flawlessly so this is clearly a mail app issue.
