Yahoo mail not sending from iphone!

i have yahoo mail configured on my iphone (using the iphone's automatic settings for yahoo) and everything has been working fine for awhile. now it seems the phone is not sending emails. it makes the "WHOOSH!" sound and everything but when i look in the SENT folder the messages do not appear. Additionally, the recipients do not receive a message.

Help!?!?!

I talked to a support guy on the phone today and he said I was the third person he talked to with this type of issue. They said they were going have the developers look into it but this has to be a yahoo issue.

Now my web mail is not being sent from my yahoo account that I set up. It all shows in the sent folder but it is not being sent out. So I signed up for another one and I get a similar issue, all messages are delayed by at least 8 hours and I still need to enter the encrypted characters each time I send an email. Yahoo needs to get on this, this not only effect people using the iphone but people that sign up for a yahoo mail account.

I guess the issue is going to be that Yahoo is a free service (i guess unless you pay for the Yahoo plus) and that you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, we have paid for the iPhone which is designed for Yahoo to be the most attractive mail provider (in terms of IMAP/PUSH capability). I see no phone numbers for Yahoo mail tech support on their site.

Yahoo does not have a phone number to call, only a service form to fill out and they will email you back.
I have received a few of the emails I sent from the web to myself after about 8 hours of lag. So they may be working on the issue. Too bad we have to wait for yahoo to fix it, I think apple would have done something by now if it was in their court.

I have been having this problem with all my e-mail accounts

.mac, gmail and yahoo

so has my wife

myway and yahoo

and a couple other people I know are having problems with their .mac mail.

This is very absurd, considering that I have lost time/business due to e-mails not being received by clients, which as you all know is makes me look bad.

Now I have to resort to only sending important e-mails from a computer, which defeats the purpose of having an iPhone! I know that my blackberry worked really well and never failed, EVER!

P.S. - I am a huge apple enthusiast, make a living off of them, but this is bad, especially since it is happening with .mac!!!

My Yahoo email seems to be working now (KNOCK-ON-WOOD!!!). I can send email via the iphone, then check online and the email I send is in the Sent Folder (it's in the sent folder on my iphone, too). When I send an email from my computer, it shows up in my sent folder on my iphone. It's "pushing" too. (again KNOCK-ON-WOOD)

I don't know if the problem with my Yahoo email was somthing with Yahoo or the iphone. I returned the iphone for a new one last friday and ever since then, my yahoo email has been working. Coincidence??
