I recently needed to reset my password for my yahoo mail, and when I went to update it in my phone so all was correct... it wouldn't allow that change to happen. Now I can't get my yahoo mail though the mail app like I used to and I was forced to get the Yahoo mail app (which I don't want). What is the problem???? My phone is up to date and I've tried everything I can think of.
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13
The problem is Yahoo's mail servers.
They have a nasty habit of getting out of sync with each other. There's not much you can do about it other than wait for them to sync up again.
I strongly advise you to switch to another email provider. Yahoo also has a history of security breaches. If you've had a Yahoo account for more than a year or two I can pretty much guarantee that it has been compromised.
Have you used app specific password generated by Yahoo? You cannot use your Yahoo mail login password here. Watch the GIF below
