Anyone know whats going on

My Yahoo email has gone mental " no connection to server" message when trying to send emails

Sent a test email ...nothing, then received it about 10 times!!!!!!
( sent from my I cloud email)

Anyone any ideas?

Bloody nightmare
 
It's getting let I'll post instructions in the morning, in should be the same as my iPhone ;)
 
Yahoo have updated there email settings so you can't access them without using "SSL"(security settings in a nutshell.)

The link below has the settings, which if you can on your iphone/ipad go to

SETTINGS
MAIL, CONTACTS,CALENDER
click YAHOO in accounts
ACCOUNT INFO
ADVANCED

you should find the settings there (ports and enable/ use SSL etc)

http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?y=PROD&page=content&id=SLN3697&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1386851985635&locale=en_US&y=

However I deleted my old Yahoo account on my iphone as the options I needed to chage for "SSL" where all greyed out.

So to set a new one up I have to do this....

SETTINGS
MAIL, CONTACTS,CALENDER
under accounts click ADD ACCOUNT
select OTHER as YAHOO didn't work for me with the new security settings
under mail click ADD MAIL ACCOUNT

in the new account section fill in...

NAME
ADDRESS...your email address
PASSWORD
DESCRIPTION...I just call it YAHOO! as I have several emails set up on y phone

click NEXT

click IMAP

under incoming mail server fill in...

HOST NAME..... imap.mail.yahoo.com
USERNAME.... your email address
PASSWORD...your password

under outgoing mail server fill in...

HOST NAME..... smtp.mail.yahoo.com
USERNAME.... your email address
PASSWORD...your password

click NEXT and PREY :)
