My yahoo account doesn't work any more !!! error imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com

Today I've wanted to check my email from yahoo and it appeared an error such as : "username or password incorect for imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" . It's my iphone broken or it's a problem from YAHOO?
I have an IPHONE 3G version 2.2.0....

I've got exactly the same problem! But the other apps are ok, so I've sent an email to Yahoo and I'm waiting for a reply. I've read on another forum (ilounge) that it was necessary to upgrade to yahoo mail plus, but I don't understand why as it has perfeclty worked until now without yahoo mail plus (which costs 15 euros a year...)...Anyway I'll let you know when I get a reply...Let us know if you have a solution...

Hello. I have the same problem. I guess it is the yahoo server that is currently messed up. It's a waiting game. I also noticed that in the mail.app the number of my password digits seem incorrect. I have a pw made up with 9 digits but in my mail settings it defaults to 8 suddenly. Maybe someone at yahoo added a max. Digit limit for passwords? I just can't be asked to change mine to a shorter one. Does anyone have a shorter password but still the authentification error? Taa. Stef
