Jun 28, 2012 12:01 PM in response to blakecorreiaby LauraMackie,Actually, that isn't quite true Blake. I have yahoo.com on my Mac and it is free. It only requires payment if want the version with no ads and you want support.

Jun 28, 2012 12:09 PM in response to jnm2003by RobertInLA,this worked! thank you so much! now i can send and receive using the iphone mail icon and not the mobile yahoo site - brilliant --- FYI for those of you who are going to try this - you will not have all of your mailboxes and it does not sync well with your desktop version (i.e. if you delete messageon iphone; it will still be on your desktop version) - but way better than the mobile site

Jun 28, 2012 12:28 PM in response to dbmac67by levi_pup09,My email is now working - it just started on it's own. My account information was all filled out - I saved it even though I got an error message stating it may not be correct - and all of the sudden, I am gettting mail.

Jun 28, 2012 12:31 PM in response to dbmac67by jlawsonz,I tried the alternate smtp, no difference. I tried the POP plus settings, no difference.
My iPhone just came back up using the original settings.
It looks like Yahoo fixed their issue with the server.

Jun 28, 2012 1:24 PM in response to dbmac67by radgirl0173,Looks like Yahoo is sending mail again. I received mail about 2 hours ago. Notes still haven't updated. I will check the iPad when I get home to see what it's doing.

Aug 15, 2012 1:09 AM in response to dbmac67by Amalek,Happens to me often, and mostly on my MAC.
I found that if I go to Yahoo mail on the web, sign out and sign back in, it works again.

It looks like it's time to drop yahoo
