Can't get Yahoo Mail (business) to work on iphone or ipad

I am having the exact same issue and I have spent a day on the phone with Apple and next day with yahoo. The mail box on my computer is not receiving all of the emails. I am missing a lot of them. The only way I can get all my emails is if I go to yahoo.com and log in. It's a lot of additional time and work.

Please let us know if you have a way to solve this issue.

I just spent an hour on the phone with Turbify with the same issues for my business mail account. Was told that Mac Mail (laptop) can only be set up as POP account and iphone Mail can only be set up as IMAP. Therefore, they cannot sync with each other. So frustrating! I was also told that "everyone is fine with reading and deleting their emails twice on two different devices." Ridiculous. I want to migrate my domain name and email account to a different host but don't want to lose my important saved emails. I've had this domain name and email account for over 20 years and never had an issue with Yahoo Business email but Turbify has caused all these problems.

1. Go to https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html
2. Click Generate an app password
3. Follow the instructions and go generate an app password
4. **Please remember this one-time 'app password' is DIFFERENT from the 'email account password' created by yourselves. (Yahoo didn't make it clear enough.)
5. Use the newly generated one-time 'app password' as opposed to your own 'email account password', when setup the POP/IMAP account on your iOS device.

Despite the Turbify help line insisting it was impossible, I think I figured out how to set up my business email on both my iPhone and Macbook so they sync with each other! (I don't have to read and delete twice on two devices, which was ridiculous.) You need to set up both accounts using IMAP. It's been working for a full day now, so hopefully stays that way.

BLESS YOU!!! This worked for me!

Appreciate your assistance.

You may need an app password to access your account: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html

You may also need to contact turbify for specific mail settings if not discoverable when you set it up in mail.

Yes. Many providers require app passwords when accessing email as a security measure.

As for the Yahoo! app, I'm not too familiar with it. It should not require an app password for your Yahoo account. But the account that moved to the new provider may require different settings or password.

I am not trying to use the Iphone Apple Mail client.

I cannot even use the Yahoo Mail app for my Turbify Business account.

Same as the last part of the OP's comment:

"I cannot get the yahoo mail app to work at all, it keeps giving me an error page that says "Uh Oh, looks like something went wrong. Please try again later".

Continually getting same "Uh Oh, looks like something went wrong. Please try again later.

I have to use web browser to access my Turbify webmail via Yahoo.

Awesome phone, that since my conversion from Android back in October, I cannot get this iPhone to hook up to my business mail. Been same error message since day 1 with this phone.

At least you can log in through the web. Got a new iPhone 16 and I get get into yahoo business on my iPhone through:

yahoo app

apple mail app OR

the browser on my phone.

Yahoo business is a nightmare service and as much as I don’t want to switch everything, it’s just getting worse.

good luck!

Thanks, Muguy! The link you provided is invaluable. I finally resolved the problem that had been lasting for over a month.

Hi, I am also facing the same issues with Yahoo mail. Would you be able to share how you managed to solve it?
