Sky Email problems today

Sky Email is used by millions of Sky customers across the UK, with the service having recently merged with Yahoo Mail giving users access to a wide range of features that a company as big as Yahoo can offer in this field.

At certain times though and usually at the worst moment, Sky email login problems can happen and users are unable to login to get access to important emails that they need to reply to during a working day.

When that happens and Sky Yahoo Email is not working for you on desktop, iPad, iPhone, Android or any other device, you can report your problems here to us the minute the service stops working.

Is Sky Email down today on Wednesday January 27, 2021 for you? Give us your status and look out for alerts on the team whenever there is a serious problem and we’ll update you as soon as we have info to share.

    I’m unable to login into my Sky account, it says access denied on this server with a load of numbers, what’s going on Sky. I cant access my emails. Never had any problems before.

  • Christine Edmondson

    I keep getting message “Your email is being redirected to “sky email address – please review” to which I’m logged into so it’s not being redirected. Any attempt to transfer over to the new sky email takes me to a “Weebly” page that cannot be accessed. All of my emails are coming through as normal. Can anyone tell me what the review is all about?

    One of my contacts are trying to send me an email but it keeps bouncing. Double checked the address and is all correct. Does anyone know why this is happening?

  • Mark Sheridan

    sky email has just stopped working on my ipad, reset it 3 times no good. can access email on my desk top pc so I know emails are there.
    my ipad want access sky email through the ipad or safari.
    what do you suggest I do as I use my ipad 99% of the time not my pc.
    I have tried deleting the email and reinstalling but still no good.

    • Sarah Bichener

      I have logged on directly to Yahoo on my iphone and am receiving them that way,hope this helps you. According to sky it is a bug in their update. I still cannot get them to load on my pc via outlook-so annoying

    • Steve Kay

      So I think Sky are at it. Had the problem on Tuesday (IPhone and Macbook) and Phoned Sky. They said there was a known problem and got me to reset my password via memorable date. This allowed me to log on to mail on the web browser, but gave me an error from my Phone and Mac. SKY Advised me to contact apple. I set up a Yahoo account and this worked. E Mail now working fine.
      I suspect this is a change they have implemented and not advertised.

  • I have not been able get sky emails on my laptop or phone for weeks now, i have reset my password and still dont work. I can get them through my chrome browser on my laptop.

  • Ruth Berridge

    Sky email down again today. Same as everyone else, reset password but still can connect to server. Checked all settings and they are fine. All ok on my phone, and logged into sky but not on desktop through outlook since Tuesday. it is getting ridiculous now!

    • Debbie Campbell

      same for us, getting error 288 on our laptops,but works on phones.Been like it for 2 days now.

      • Ruth Berridge

        Hi Debbie, I was advised to delete the account from outlook and re set up. It worked!!! Pulled back in all my emails from sky perfect. By all accounts it’s a Microsoft issue not a sky one.
        Hope this helps you x

        • Sarah Bichener

          I’ve deleted my account in outlook and still cannot access them,sky told me it was a bug in their update. Annoying

  • MrAarovic

    I cant access my Sky/Yahoo email on my imac today. It keeps saying my password has failed. This is the third time this has happened in the last three months and each time I have had to change my password for it to work – useless! This never happened before Yahoo took over and I’ve used this account for over ten years.

  • Anna Dean

    cannot access sky/yahoo mail on outlook 2007 since this morning but ok in webbrowser

  • Chris Pearson

    Cannot access email with Thunderbird client for last 24 hrs. Message says login to server failed. No problem with 2 other sky accounts!

  • Steve J Myles

  • Lee Jeffcoate

    got logged off yesterday after a couple of minutes away from the computer. tried logging back on to be told that there was a problem with my account and to call a number. i called and was eventually advised to reset my password. did that and logged on fine then today after entering my username and password i get the ‘this site cant be reached’ page

  • lorraine white

    so fed up with this have over past 2 months had to reset passwords and still it breaks down. Just phoned sky absolute dire service from someone who obviously had no comprehension other than following her script. No choice but to get rid of the whole sky package.

  • Phil2529

    I haven’t been able to access the server for 2 days.

    This is happening way too often now for my liking.

  • Crystal Mcroberts

    I cannot remember my security info, tried for hours to get through to sky, it’s rubbish, non email access since Monday.

  • 790

    The whole service has been crap since dropping Gmail for Yahoo. Yet again being asked to verify account and the dumb arse service won’t accept my credentials after changing then due to another yahoo data breach just the other day. Yahoo just needs to die already.

  • Ian Crompton

    I couldn’t get emails through my phone yesterday and had to change my password even though I had nothing through saying it had expired. Today I’ve tried accessing my emails through Outlook on my Windows laptop, have tried changing the password to the same as the new one I set yesterday and still can’t access. So now, I can only access through iPhone or via Sky email website. Not through Outlook which is my main access point. Has anyone else got similar ?

  • Sharon Hughes

    I keep getting pop up messages to update the settings on my accounts but when I try to respond Yahoo doesn’t recognise either my email address nor any of the passwords I have ever used for Sky, despite me having the most recent saved on my PC. Luckily I can still read and send emails but this is very frustrating as I am not that techy at all.

  • Sue Miller

    Many thanks, this worked for me.

  • Steve Munn

    Just not good enough Sky – sort this out now please. No email access for over 36 hours…..

  • Gary Bainton

    just got off phone from sky , reset password and had to generate new app code to put in outlook for both email accounts

  • Julie Shrive

    It appears that if you have disabilities and are of a certain age Sky can put the boot in using data protection not to sort out what they have had the audacity to do deliberately .Block your emails making you wait 45 min for those on remits to justify via data protection re: them not us .They have left me without an email all day because I had arranged to keep the same on putting Bills all in one place they knew I had to keep same email address as can’t remember verification or sky emails that does not work on apple .I have spent all day sitting in queues of 45 min knowing am an Accessibility customer so employing the disabled to meet out the discrimination using data protection against us then targeting those in need of assistance the victims .As why did they not inform & sort out before protected themselves this was done on purpose deliberately & they should be made to compensate likewise Information Conmissioner as this is fraud ..Compensation is needed. How unethical can you get .The lack of trading standards & humanity is a disgrace .Maybe they should compensate me for time & health damage .Surely they have not used Glasgow to carry out this thug like behaviour .Or have they?Maybe we need to unite & take this up in a Court of Law as Trading Standards are no longer .Call centres are not fit for purpose enabling fraud .

  • Joe90

    None of my Sky Email accounts working. Tried suggested solutions, none work. Waiting time on phone ridiculous and the messages are extremely irritating.

  • Gary Bainton

    my wife’s and my own not been working since Monday evening. Keeps requesting password , currently in the queue for sky, it say it may b 45min s for someone to answer. Very POOR!

  • Nico Rubio

    Can anyone place the full UK number to call Sky?
    Thanks to all.

    • Nicky Dillon

      No for Sky 0333 759 4126

  • Nicky Dillon

    I HAVE NEWS 🙂 🙂
    (Also supplied by Mark Juby)
    I was advised to ring Sky for them to sort access – voice message states 1 hour wait which is scary but it took me approx 10/15 mins, now im sorted and have to wade through my emails, good luck 🙂

  • Mark Juby

    An update. I rang the number given and spoke to a lovely lady who reset my memorable question and answer in minutes. Now have access again.

  • Melanie Dawes Skirrow

    No emails for the past couple of days

  • Suzanne Brett

    No emails since yesterday morning on any device. When will this be fixed. Very frustrating.

  • Alan Fawbert

    I was without email for several days last week, managed to eventually change password and all ok. Now my wife’s email is asking for password and keeps coming back “email address and / or password not recognised”, no amount of attempts will work, really getting cheesed off with sky, looking to bin tv and broadband packages.

  • Colin Mann

    Why can’t sky put out a message on Facebook, Instagram etc?????
    No emails since midday yesterday.

  • Carl Forrester

    Really poor service by Sky. Why haven’t they put something out on tv? They can’t send us emails because we can’t receive them. I have a flight booked and saved in my folder and can’t access it. Terrible.

  • Nicky Dillon

    Ditto! 🙁
    Frustrating to say the least. Is there any word yet on when normal service will be resumed?

  • Ella Latchem

    Same issue for me. Total lack of information from Sky, poor customer service.

  • Jo Toft

    Same issues, nothing on either iphone, ipad, laptop or desktop. Can’t access My Sky as that is not accepting passwords etc either!! Tried via Messenger to contact sky but nothing so far….. Ten out of ten for lack of information Sky!!

  • John Gardner

    I’m the same, no access to anything. Tried phoning and that’s closed too, probably due to massive demand.

  • Shane Porter

    Can’t log in using Android, windows 10, office outlook or via website, its all down for me, not only that, I can’t log into my main Sky account either, not only email account.

  • Sue Miller

    No emails since yesterday morning. Keeps prompting me to enter my password. No joy on any device, Ipad, Iphone or desktop computer.

  • Steve Munn

  • Sylvia Witter

    no emails since 11 am yesterday????

  • Loney

    Anyone had any luck yet?

  • Linda Salter

    Still not fixed.

  • Barry Howard

    Looks like the little darlings have reset everyone’s passwords as a “precautionary measure”, They are directing everyone to the password reset site. Doesn’t work for me as the damn thing doesn’t recognise the info that I put in, so I’ll have to ‘phone them tomorrow.

  • Jackie Eaton

    Trying to send an important email, but not recognising my password. Very frustrating SKY

  • No-one mentions what DEVICE they are using. My email works on my Windows 10 laptop but not my iphone or ipad, which asks for login info that isn’t accepted. Must be a clue there somewhere?

  • Adrian Chard

    Sky email down

  • Bill Jackson

    Mine has been down since Tuesday and Sky are impossible to contact spent all morning so far trying to get through to them and have failed . Twice after about twenty five minutes I have been cut off. I suspect they have a target of answering calls within 390 minutes so if it looks as if call will go over that they just automatically disconnect you

    • Liz Parmiter

      Me too

  • Kelly Ann

    Sky email saying not the right password when it’s never changed won’t let me login to sky id either!! Really need my emails what’s going on!

  • Bill Jackson

    Yes mine is still down Get random error message some say log in reject others say cannot sync

  • Bill Jackson

    It daft the system simply does not allow you to rest it as it sends the reset to the email you cannot access.. What bright spark at Sky thought that one up

  • Bill Jackson

    What is going on with Sky email. It keeps rejecting my log in

  • Joanne Holloway

    Mines doing the exact same thing on my phone today. Had it for years, password etc saved never had a problem, keeps asking for verification that i am a genuine user by inputting a number of letters, I’m just going round and round in circles

  • Donna Dixon

    If you can’t access your emails it needs to be reset by ringing sky. Can be a wait but got straight through yesterday and email all sorted within a few mins

    • Bill Jackson

      Sky are almost impossible to contact unless you have the patience of a saint

      • Donna Dixon

        Yes can be at certain times but I called Sunday afternoon and got straight through! (wasn’t even sure anyone would be there)!

  • Lizzie Irving

    supposedly my password is incorrect, which it 100% isnt… and therefore wont log me in on the computer. No emails are sending or recieving on my phone. My account was blocked a few weeks ago because of a breech in Apple software. I had to call the sky helpline to unblock my account.. I hope I dont have to do that again.

  • Fiona Seath

    Has anyone got any answers to when sky are going to fix problem not been able to access email since last Sunday

  • Marc Bell

    Sky Mail has been down since last Tuesday, can’t log onto my sky account, tried phoning them they kept saying that I must be typing the verification in wrong which I wasn’t it just goes back to page saying my username or password is wrong. What do I do now?

  • Sandra Davies

    I can’t log in to my sky or yahoo mail. Very frustrating as I need to access messages

    My access to Sky mail has been down since lunchtime. Messages vary from incorrect username or password to could not connect to server

  • Brexit Brit

    My access to Sky email went down in the last hour (11.50am on 26 July). I was using it one second on my Ipad and an error message flashed up. Can’t log back in as it says it doesn’t recognise my email address or password. Keeping getting captchas to fill out and nothing happens.

    • kipper colin

      me too!

    • Donna Dixon

      Seems this is widespread. Ridiculous.

  • mike ware-lane

    Email down since Tuesday 23rd July. It happens occasionally and generally I leave it alone and it sorts itself out within a few hours, but not this time – still down. It’s a Sky server issue but I won’t stay in a queue that’s over an hour wait!! The longer it goes on the longer the queue will get. No point in trying to change passwords without speaking to Sky to go through the security process, you’ll be wasting your time…..

    • Donna Dixon

      Yep tried messanger first yesterday then phone for 35 mins just to be told the servers were down and call back today. Not bothered going through it again.

  • Mark A

    We had this and I contacted Sky through the messenger app and after around 40 minutes they sorted it for us. We had to go through the reset password / answer security question before we reset the password. They told us there has been a security threat at Sky and a lot of people have to reset their passwords.

    • Bill Jackson

      But there daft system does not let you reset it as the reset email goes to the email you cannot access

  • Andy Knight

    Has anyone got the number to phone please? Not had any luck finding it through Mr Google. Thanks

  • melanie farman

    I am having the same problems; it started yesterday afternoon – cannot access my emails as saying my login and password are incorrect on all devices. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix?

  • Maureen Stansfield

    Sky emails down saying password wrong need it up for flight tickets should I just wait ?

  • Jackie Wright

    Haven’t been able to access my sky emails since yesterday evening July 23rd. Was fine up til then.

  • Donna Dixon

    Suddenly stopped working yesterday. Not recognising username, password or security answer. Just comes up with captchas which it won’t accept either. Hopeless. Need my emails!

  • Jenny Harrop

    Having issues accessing email, telling me to reset password but I am unable to

    • Donna Dixon

      Snap. Was holding on phone to them 35 mins yday(after trying 40 mins on messanger first) just for them to say the the system was down so to call again today. I havent bothered yet.

  • Kelvin Morgan

    I can not access my Sky E/mail account on my Laptop or Mobile phones or my wifes mobile or Kindle we are told credentials needed, we are in Spain

  • Karen Kirk

    Not just the email down. I changed password as requested but still unable to access my email.

  • Jacqueline Henderson

    My sky email is wanting me to sign in and when I do it doesn’t recognize the user name or password. I have 3 accounts and just started a business I need access.

      • Jacqueline Henderson

        I seem to be working alright now hope yours is too

  • John Goodburn

    Just received email asking for me to renew my credentials on sky email. Attempt to do so but keeps getting rejected. I’m based in Kent

  • Pete Pascoe

    My Sky email address plus a second one I only use occasionally have both vanished. When I try to log in, I get “sorry, we did not recognise your username or password”. Just happened without warning to both email addresses. Anyone have ideas?

    • Jacqueline Henderson

      I’m having exactly the same problem. Cant find any answers anywhere.

      • Steve Beard

        I had exactly the same problem. Rang Sky and was told there are big problems. Followed their instructions and was back online and all ok within minutes. Give them a call as once you pass the security I think they unlock the account so you can reset the password.

        • Jacqueline Henderson

          Thanks seems to be working alright now fingers crossed

          • Pete Pascoe

            After logging into my old Sky account which still exists (surprising as I stopped paying them over a year ago), I was able to reset my password and it all sprang back into life!

        • Maggie Butwell

          Hi Steve can you let me know what number you rang please as my daughter is having the same problem? thank you

        • Andy Knight

          Do you have the number you called please?

  • Ally Shaw

    I’ve been having problems receiving my sky emails since 10th July.. it’s starting to p*$$ me off! I need to sort my car insurance out and I need my email address to do so! Not to mention work emails!

Got thru on helpline and they said they had unlocked my account and to log in thru my browser. This involves using SKY id, which uses the account thats not working. Thanks for that SKY! morons. Just fix it will ya !!!!

  • Karen Stride

  • Stuart Ross

    This is really frustrating, my account hasn’t been accessible since 16:45 on Friday ..c’mon Sky/Yahoo get a move on and fix this muck-up. Btw I tried the helpline and was added to the hour plus waiting queue!!!!!

  • George Johnson

    Email down since Friday, ring .03442411280, Monday afternoon still over 60 minutes wait time to be answered, usual piss poor sky service

  • Lindsey Roberts

    I have been unable to access emails since friday lunch time, again like most of you asking for new password etc then says there is issue with account and to ring a number. Eventually got through to sky sat morning they were not helpful and said the issue was with the server and whenever it’s happened before it never lasts more than 2 days so not to worry!! Well here we are sky 3 days on…..

  • Basement dweller

    Email not working since Friday.

    Can’t sign in as apparently there is a problem with my account.

  • Karen Beuken

    I have been unable to send or receive emails since Friday. I have an error saying there is a problem with my account. I have tried to call Sky a few times but there’s a 30 minute waiting time which asks for my password, mothers maiden name and last two digits of my bank account on an answering service which I am not prepared to leave. This issue is across all my devices.

  • Rick Ferries

    Sky yahoo email is not sending or recieving on any of my devices. I am told my sky details are out of date, but they have not been changed? I am asked to update my details, such as my password and phone number. Shall I just make up a phone number then? I have no intention of changing my password but when I follow the link to update my preferences, I get the same annoyning message saying it has been unsuccessful. The default settings for adverts by phone, text or by post will not change. I cannot be without Email. The service is rubbish and I would find it easier to contact the Yeti, than anyone at sky. There is no box to confirm changes anyway.

  • Mark

    I’ve sorted my main account, however I’m still not receiving emails for my second account?

  • Brian Jenkins

    My Sky emails aren’t being sent to my Sky email address they are going to my the email account I used to set up Sky that I don’t actually use and I cant change it in the ID section of Sky. I had to use another account as Sky wouldn’t let me use the Sky address now its all just become confusing and I’m not receiving notifications from Sky, that are important, to my regular Sky email address. It was working ok up till today.

  • Debbie Doherty

    I have been unable to receive my sky emails since 9am. I cannot log into it on my laptop and there have been no emails since this morning on my phone. I cannot send, receive or open attachments in emails sent prior to this either. The telephone number supplied has over a 30 minute wait time!

    Can’t log into my mailbox today (11Oct18) via my usual email app (it works okay via a browser). Keeps asking for my password. Was fine yesterday. Not the first time it’s happened and last time had to reset the server settings. Very frustrating.

    • Ken Jackson

      had same problem today, changed my IMAP settings to Yahoo (were Sky)
      All working ok now

      • Carol Ann McGlynn

        Just went back into my email and can now see my sky emails. Didn’t change any settings. Putting it down to a blip … but it would be been helpful if Sky could have posted something on their website advising there were problems.

  • James Fleming

    I can access my emails via the sky website/yahoo mail, but cannot access via gmail on android or Windows live mail on my laptop. Seemingly thinks my password is wrong. I deleted my Sky e-mail account on gmail, then after trying to set it back up as new account and entering my Sky password, it won’t redirect, gives an error message. As it stands, the issue seems to be between other means of accessing sky email like gmail etc. I tried to set up a Yahoo mail account on Gmail and it did it no problem.

    PS. As usual, everything else is working except Sky/Yahoo/Verizon mail. Just as well I can rely on Gmail to work.
    Note this happens on PC, tablet and phone, so I guess that points to the email service.

    And it has just started working. You must have fixed something. Thanks.

  • Roy Dunroamin Mace

    I have had this before. Sky email works ok for weeks or months, no problem. Then login to Sky, but when I try to access my mail I get Yahoo server times out. Is it a bug in Yahoo, or do they have so many customers that they cannot serve them all. And no, I am not wasting time trying to find/clear the problem, as in the past it has always started working again after a few days. Is the problem due to Verizon improving/integrating Yahoo/AOL systems.
    Guys, if it aint broke don’t fix it.

    I have found that since merging with Yahoo sky email has been a joke. I have never known such a slow service in my experience of 20 odd years using email. I am sorry to admit that I am using Gmail more than ever for all non-personal mail and am considering transferring altogether.

  • David Whelan

    Mines been down since 1st jan. Attempts to login to sky.com have failed due to either my name or security question being incorrect! Both are correct. Also tried via the facebook sky support pages, very helpful staff, but again none of my passwords or security questions are recognised…suspect they have purged old accounts…. I’ve not been a sky tv/broadband customer for over 5 years. Their final advise is to call them on the 03442 number, im looking forward to a long wait

  • David Rooks

    My email has been down since 1pm on the 1/1/18 on all platforms, my phones and iPads say either wrong account information as in passwords etc and computer says that there is an account problem when I sign in via sky and go to mail. Tried changing password etc and again get an ‘oops something went wrong’ message from sky call this number, which I can’t do as I’m not in the UK and don’t have phone access. This happened back in July 17 as well.
