Mail problems

I tried to send a pic to a company from my iPhone mail program. I wouldn't accept my Yahoo password. I went to my Mac and it wouldn't accept my password either. I changed my password and it still wouldn't accept it on my Apple mail. I went to the Yahoo website and it accepts my new password and I can get into my mail.

Now what? This was a time sensitive insurance issue and now it's messed up. Too late for that, but I don't know what to do.

I deleted my Yahoo account from my mac and re-entered it, but it still won't accept my new password even though Yahoo does on it's website.

I've heard of others having this problem but I don't know the fix.

I am not sure you can fix it. Have you contacted Yahoo tech support yet?


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

They charge now for help from a person, and since I can't guarantee it will work, I will not go that route.

After trying over and over again and changing passwords, it finally works on my Mac but not on my iPhone. I will go to the iPhone section and see what I can find out. Thanks JoeMike.
