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
This worked for me. Thank you. I had to go to yahoo mail in my web browser, pull up my security settings, and enable 'Allow apps that use less secure sign in.' After this I was able to re-add my yahoo account to my Apple mail 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!
It is not Apple's problem to fix. it's Yahoo's problem.

In case you weren't aware, over 3 Billion Yahoo accounts were compromised. Yours included. Possibly multiple times.

It is not an iPhone issue at all. It's a Yahoo issue. **********.
