Unable to add my Yahoo Email on my phone

[AnaSarai]

I can't get my yahoo email on the phone. The screen is stuck on when entering the email address. When i hit continue, it stays on that screen. Help?!

I did the same. Got it running through outlook, but I want my regular email back too. Quicker, easier, less ads and other **bleep**.

Ok, I have not seen that on my Edison but it could have changed. So apologies if I came across as incredulous.

Anyway, I take it you are using AT&T as your provider? If so, that could be the issue. I did not use my my provider because I dont have their internet. Except for Hotmail, I used the "other" part and let Email find the incominy/outgoing when I entered in my login credentials for my two primary emails accts I set up and have with my internet provider.

Hotmail was just as seamless. Also, I did not connect Email with any other account except adding my own like in the shot you shared. This is all I did from the start...

Well, I've used AT&T for many, many years now. AT&T 's email, as fast as I know, has always run through Yahoo. When I had to manually configure the server settings, everything ran through yahoo. Server settings were configured for yahoo servers.
The bug that everyone seems to be having is that "connection" between the two systems. I go to AT&T's page and click on settings I got yahoo stuff.
Changing to a Hotmail or other address for me would be a nightmare.
This all started for me on Feb 17th, the day AFTER my S23 ultra downloaded the latest monthly update for my phone.
AT&T uses a secure email key. When they started with that, i had to reset the password procedure for my account. Once done, it ran prefect and smooth for years. Until this last update which I think, crashed something on that secure email key.
I've been searching since that Monday and there are a LOT of people out there with the same problems that we have here. Samsung is getting hammered along with AT&T and yahoo. So. We keep calling until it gets fixed.

I hope.

That really sucks! I have never bought into any the big brand providers unless I knew I could cancel the account at any time and not have to use their systems for ancillary functions like email. The one I ever had was T-mobile, and that lasted less than 9 months when they changed the plans.

I always had my emails set up through my internet provider. When I transferred all of my settings, accounts and aesthetics, it worked a treat and only needed to re-do my logins in certain apps I use. In any case, I hope y'all get this resolved. It just should not work that way.

Thank you for that tip. It worked for me also. Hopefully they fix the email app soon

[Big-Bad-Brad]

Hey... guess what? I just checked for updates and I was notified there was an update for Samsung Email. Just installed it. Are you ready for this??

It didn't work. No change

[AnaSarai]

Ugh!!!! I miss my email app.

Try signing into your Yahoo account through the Gmail app. That worked for my husband.

[Big-Bad-Brad]

I just tried that. As soon as I entered my att email, it takes me to the yahoo app and locks up at the password entry

Ok. I gotta share this one. AT&T has totally lost it. I went to myatt.com to see if changing my email password night help. I look and they have 3 phones listed on my account. My wife iPhone 14. My daughters iPhone 14, and my Samsung S23 ultra. All 3 listed in my account. I click on my S23 for instructions. The screen takes me to the iPhone instructions. I click on "select another device". I click on the Samsung S23 Ultra. I go back to the iPhone page. I went through the iPhone page 5 times. Gave up and hit cancel.
It sent me to the iPhone manual page.
