Re: [apple-iphone] Can't get mail on iPhone

The reason the problem followed you from iOS 7 to iOS 8 is that the problem is not with the OS, but with your provider's servers. It is for some reason acting slow and not recognizing your password before your device times out. There is nothing that you can do to resolve this, but complain to your provider, and hope they get enough complaints that they add more equipment wherever the issue is.

Yesterday, I had a different problem, so I quit the offending app and restarted it. I then shut down the devices and started them again. Repeatedly over 45 minutes. I eventually went to the library and used their WiFi and Internet and it worked fine. When I got back home later in the day, it was as if there had been no problem. The problem was with my provider.

Upgrading OS or app version seldom fixes a connectivity issue.

Did you update the Yahoo password in Settings on your iPhone & make sure that it showed as verified?

If I'm getting mail on one device, both Yahoo Gmail why not on iPhone 6? If it's not one thing it's three! I will change my email to gmail account for this group. I'm sick of issues.

I have had the same problem as Jesse with one of my email addresses. The odd part is that it happened suddenly after working fine for years.

I tried the usual fixes, from removing and reinstalling the password on the iPhone to deleting and reinstalling the address through Settings > Mail. The really odd part is that I receive messages from that address, but can't send them. The address works fine, in and out, on my Mac and iPad 2. This problem has followed me from iOS 7 to the latest version of iOS 8. Very peculiar.
