The IMAP server "apple.imap.mail.yahoo is not responding" error

Since I updated my iPod Touch with IOS 4.3.5, I cannot to Yahoo Mail. I didn't change any settings at all. It just stopped connecting with the error:

apple.imap.mail.yahoo is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field.

Any thoughts???

I have had my iPhone for over a year and my iPad since Xmas. I have been receiving yahoo and gmail email on both with no problem until today. Now I can't retrieve yahoo email which is my primary account. It gives me error message that my user name or password is incorrect. Neither are. I've tried deleting account and then re-adding it. Sometimes the error message reads " the connection to the server 'apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com' on port 993 timed out.


I am extremely frustrated as I have been trying to fix the problem for hours. Help!

That is EXACTLY what has just started happening with my new iphone! I just bought it last week and is my first Apple product! I had changed nothing at all in settings and got the user name/password error - then the server error. I was absolutely loving it compared to my old droid, and now this.....Yahoo is also my primary email and it comes in fine on my laptop.
