iPhone X Yahoo! email does not update

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!

I have the same problem every morning. My yahoo email stops loading overnight. I have to delete the yahoo account from my phone, turn off the phone, restart it and load yahoo mail again to get it to work. Giant pain in the neck and I highly encourage Yahoo and Apple to fix it!

I had the same exact issue and worked with a senior advisor from Apple. She was helpful and got in touch with the developer team for me and finally they said they were working on this issue with Yahoo. I am hoping they will fix it soon cos it’s annoying and I am not a fan of the yahoo email app.

You’ll have to wait until the next update. They come out fairly often so you shouldn’t have to wait but a few weeks. In the meantime, download the yahoo app so you have access to you mail. When the next update comes down- make sure and download/update your phone plugged into your computer.

Just accept that Yahoo's mail services are garbage. It's been that way for almost 30 years now.

The irony here is that people still use Yahoo's services after over 3 billion accounts were compromised in the biggest hack in history... It's well past time to switch.

I was told exactly the same thing, I guess they have all been told to say the same thing. He did tell me to change my push instruction from Automatically to every 15 mins which seems to be helping. The messages do come in but do take much longer. I can see them in my yahoo app and then maybe an hour later they come in the mail app, even when I pull the screen down to let them in. I told him I may as well swap this X for the 8 and he said it will be the same issue! Very disappointed with this phone.

Hi

Go to settings down to Email Accounts delete account that not working correctly then add back again.

The problem isn't your phone, it's the fact that yahoo's mail servers are garbage.

Contact Yahoo.

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.

I have this same problem from day one and have been sent from pillar to post by Apple. After resetting wi-fi on the phone, doing two factory resets, two trips to the so called ‘genius’ bar, I still have the problem

After being told if the factory reset without using my iTunes backup and manually setting up the Yahoo accounts meant it must be a hardware problem, I went back and they refused to change the phone. On the phone with Apple they finally agreed to change the phone for a used/second hand/factory refurbished phone (they refused to say which, just that it was not new) which arrived yesterday. Another half day lost setting it up and the email worked great. For a few hours. This morning, no new emails. The X said it updated at 07:52, I turn on my 5 (not s, just 5) and there are new emails, same on the iPad mini

So I’ve paid $1,100 for a second hand phone and the problem is STILL there. What a rip-off. DON’T exchange your phone as Apple are ripping people off with non-new replacements. Apple used to be about customer service but now they just seem to be all about profit. I still have my iPhone 3, 5, I have AppleTV, iPad, etc. but I will never buy an Apple product ever again. If Apple had not deluberately crippled my iPhone 5 I would not have changed it. Now I am stuck with a used iPhone X that still does not work properly and am out thousands in lost time, just under five working days

Had long chat with the apple advisor on apple support app. Deleted all the account, even deleted the mail app. Started receiving all the mails. Woke up to find that the mail app is not showing any mails after 6 am. Have noticed this earlier also. All the solutions usually work till next day early morning and then back to square one.My iPhone 7, on all the exact same settings , is showing all the mails.

What makes you think the next update will fix anything? Just speculating?

Agree. This happens on every device & platform but many times, users don't realize that it's not updating, is erratic or so on. I had to learn this the hard way on my own array of devices at home & work along with seeing others in the same situation. I transitioned over to a reliable ESP finally. Problem solved

Appears to be a known issue... see link below and there are many other in the Yahoo support forums.

Doubt we will get a solution anytime soon.

Apple certainly won’t do anything either.

Exactly what would expect them to do?

An independent developer of an app and alternate mail service seems to have made a decision to restrict your access to their product to only via their app.

Tell them if you're unhappy with their decision. Feedback on Yahoo Mail | Yahoo Help - SLN15846
