Q: For twenty years I never once had a single problem sending an email.

For twenty years I never once had a single problem sending an email.
Now with ios8.0 I must regularly visit a computer technician and have him perform mystic rituals on this little slab of silicon.

    Why do you ask? What is the importance of that? The answer is I do not know. Since it becomes apparent with KiltedTim's response that the technician who set it up for me has simply been taking me for a ride, perhaps I should know this one.

     

    I'm just a consumer. It's necessary to have email to live in the 21st century. I cannot avoid computers. What you guys do is magic to me. Sleight-of-hand, dark arts, legerdemain. Card tricks. At every turn there are pitfalls, booby traps, and sellers of snake oil. The longer I play with this stuff the more it becomes clear to me that I don't know a **** thing, I don't know what it is I don't know, and every darn utility out there is so fraught and complex that I haven't much of a chance.  The programs were once simple enough I could blunder along and still get some functionality. Why utilities have to be so utterly opaque escapes me.

    If I understand you're question correctly you're having trouble with your Yahoo mai. I  gave you two alternatives.

    You gave me two alternatives. When I get an error message (pretty constantly on my email) I also get two alternatives. Neither of them have any meaning at all so far as I can tell.
