How to: Yahoo! Small Business email on iPhone/iPad IMAP!
Yahoo! has done well with integrating personal Yahoo! Mail with the iPhone, but has been terrible with making Yahoo! Small Business email work with the iPhone very well — until now. They have made the Small Business email accounts IMAP-ready!
Here are their instructions: http://help.yahoo.com//l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/bizmail/pop/pop-39.html
Hello? Where are the rest of the instructions for the iPhone?? Well, here they are:
1. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account…
2. Other > Add Mail Account > type your name (what you want others to see in the From line), your full Yahoo! email address, your Yahoo! password for that account and a description (for the iPhone to display to you).
3. Choose IMAP, Incoming Mail Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com, type in your full email address and password again.
4. Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com, type in your full email address and password yet again, click Next. (if I’m missing a step here, please comment about it)
5. In the Mail, Contacts, Calendar settings, click the new account you just created, click on the email address, scroll down and click on Advanced.
6. Match up the iPhone’s Drafts, Sent and Deleted mailboxes with Yahoo!’s matching mailboxes.
7. You’re done! You can even view all your subfolders in your Yahoo! email. (In your iPhone click in the top left “Mailboxes,” at this point you’ll see your folders, or scroll down and choose your Yahoo! account’s name)
5.
Set it up – but cannot set SSL, so it won’t verify. Tried verifying without SSL – does not work!
OMG… Thank you SO MUCH… i have struggled for years to get my Yahoo! Business mail in a timely manner on my iphone to no avail. I knew this update was coming, but hadnt taken the time to switch it over to IMAP… Your instructions worked perfectly. Thank you Thank you!!! Finally I can search my Business mail and use it with the same functionality as I have with my regular Yahoo! mail account!
YAY!
Works perfectly!
Thank you for taking the time to make it easy for the rest of us!
Thanks – your way works, Yahoo’s does not!
I had no problem setting up Iphone 4s on Verizon but the AT&T one is a booger.
On the AT&T phone we did not click on Yahoo for our account but went to other and manually entered in the data.
For safety reasons, I prefer to enter password manually every time I check my business e-mail. Right now it’s all automatic and it shows every single business e-mail I’ve sent and received, which I don’t like. How do I change this?
Thanks in advance 🙂
my iphone setup screen does not provide option to select either IMAP or POP. Moreover, there is no screen providing inout of Incoming server data -it only provides input for Outgoing. Has no one else had this problem??
Thank You! Very Helpful. Better than Yahoo Help.
Thank you!!!!! Worked perfectly
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! I was freaking out as after I updated the new iOS on my phone my work email thru Yahoo Small Business wouldn’t work … this worked perfectly & I appreciate you taking the time to post this for us!! May the Lord bless you abundantly! =)
YES!! It worked!! So glad I found your instructions!! After updating my iPhone to OS 9 I lost my business email.
Just got a new IPhone 5s and my business E-mail was gone. Followed your steps, and now I have all yahoo E-mail accounts working. ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!
Many Thanks!!!!!
