I don't know whether or not you have a paid account or what they call a plus account. They recently changed their pop and smtp access by adding "plus" in front of their incoming and outgoing servers. You can check the setting by logging into your yahoo account and searching under; options - mail options - pop and forwarding - setup, and then, view pop settings. It will give you something along the following -

incoming server - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com, ssl authentication on, enter your password, port 995

outgoing server - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com, ssl authentication on, enter your password, port 465

Again this is for the paid service, I think it's like $14.95 per year.

Now, I should mention that these are the exact same settings that I have in my Mail app (I'm on a Mac) and these settings automatically sync with my phone, so I've never had to make any changes to my phone settings.

Hope that helps.

can someone please help with the email problem with yahoo, i tried everything, well almost everything. I even went to there site ( yahoo ) and did this " At the beginning of BOTH the POP and SMTP server address settings, add the word "plus." (period included).

That is,

Incoming Mail Server (POP3):
plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):
plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Where do I do that?
Generally, you can find these settings under the Tools or Preferences menus within your particular email program.

Thanks. We understand that this has been frustrating, and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
