Yahoo mail erratic after IOS16.1.1 update

After installing IOS16.1.1 my yahoo mail has become very erratic.

Sometimes it I get the message - Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed.

Other times it updates the Inbox but does not download the content.

And sometimes it just works.


This is happening on both IPad and IPhone.

I can access the mail via the yahoo site without any issues.

I have removed and reinstalled the account but issues still continue.

Any other ideas?

Remove your email account and set it up again

Make sure that all of your emails are there or make sure that your email is saved somewhere other than your device. On your device, go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts. Tap the email account that you want to remove. Tap Delete Account.
