Cannot add yahoo mail to ipad

Frustrating! I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Let's go through some steps to add your Yahoo Mail account to your iPad:

Step 1: Check your Yahoo Mail settings

  1. Ensure that your Yahoo Mail account is set up correctly on your iPad. Go to Settings > [your name] > Passwords & Accounts > Add Account.
  2. Tap "Other" and select "Add Mail Account".
  3. Enter your name, email address, and password. Tap "Next".
  4. If prompted, select "IMAP" or "POP" as your account type. Yahoo Mail uses IMAP by default.

Step 2: Check your iPad's Mail settings

  1. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts.
  2. Ensure that the "Yahoo" account is listed under "Accounts".
  3. If it's not listed, try adding the account again from the "Add Account" screen.

Step 3: Check your Yahoo Mail account settings

  1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account on a computer or another device.
  2. Check that your account is not locked or suspended.
  3. Ensure that your account is set up to allow IMAP access. You can do this by going to the Yahoo Mail settings page and enabling IMAP.

Step 4: Check for any errors or issues

  1. Check your iPad's Mail app for any error messages or issues.
  2. If you see an error message, try restarting your iPad or checking the Yahoo Mail server status.

Additional troubleshooting steps

  1. Try deleting the Yahoo Mail account from your iPad and then re-adding it.
  2. Check your iPad's date and time settings to ensure they are correct. Yahoo Mail may not work if your iPad's date and time are incorrect.
  3. If you're using a VPN or proxy server, try disabling it and see if it resolves the issue.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you can try contacting Yahoo Mail support or Apple Support for further assistance.
