5. Change your email settings
A common problem with Yahoo Mail is that some users are having sign-in issues with non-Yahoo app. here is how you can resolve this issue:
On your iPhone or iPad, open Safari.
Visit https://mail.yahoo(.)com.
Sign in.
Click Account Info and Account security.
And turn on “Allow apps that use less secure sign-in”.
If you are still having this problem, then you may want to contact Yahoo, perhaps there’s a service outage meaning Yahoo Mail Servers may be down.
Another thing you should consider is to start using the Yahoo Mail app instead of the iOS Mail app. You can go to the App Store and download the Yahoo Mail app and install it.
Hope this helps you out.
