My connection to Yahoo through my iPod Touch simply stopped working one day

I got my iPod Touch (8 GB) a couple of weeks ago and easily set up 2 email accounts under the "Mail" icon, a Gmail account and a Yahoo! mail account. Things were going fine until one day, I could no longer access my Yahoo! account on my iPod. I keep getting a message that says that either the username or password is wrong, but I know neither of them is wrong because I've re-typed them into the iPod 10 MILLION TIMES. Does anyone have any idea how to get my Yahoo! account back? It works fine when I check it on every other computer I ever use, just not the iPod Touch.

Thanks!

PC, Windows XP Pro

My girlfriend is having the exact same problem with her old iPod touch. It just started happening out of no where too. I thought it might be because she hasn't yet opted for the $10 software upgrade, but if you're having the same problem with a new touch then it must be something else. Wait did I understand you right are using one of the new touches or the first model

K, I just fixed it.
I noticed on another forum that yahoo mail wouldn't play nice if the ipod touch's clock was not set correctly. I took a look and my girlfriend's touch's clock was off. I synced it with her Mac, which she had't done in months and everything worked fine.
