Adding Yahoo Email account

Hello All,
I have a problem with my iPad and iphone 4 when adding a new email account for yahoo. I tried adding my existing account to my iphone and ipad with no luck I receive a message *(Yahoo! Server Unavailable, Please try again later)* on both units, the funny thing is my email account works fine on the internet. I tried resetting network settings, rebooting the phone and I even called tech support but no go... Has anyone came accross this issue before? I really need some help here.. Would be appreciated.

Both units are up to date on firmware versions

Thanks Andy

IPAD and Iphone 4, iOS 4

You hit it dead center my friend. My wife just got an iPhone 5 and she never has updated her Yahoo account to the new one and thus couldnt access her Yahoo account with her new iPhone. I follow your easy steps and voila. I did spent 30 minutes surfing and playing with the phone until I stumbled into your post. You saved me hours of suffering! Many thanks my friend.

Choose the correct one and insert it into the outgoing and incoming servers. See if that will work.
