Set your email using other to set up email account. Follow these steps.

Settings

Mail Contacts and Calenders

Add mail account

Other

Add mail account

Name: Your name

Email: Your email

Password: Your email password

Description: Your email provider populates


When the next screen populates please enter and make sure POP3 is highlighted blue.


POP3


Incoming host name: mail.comcast.net

Username: Your full email address

Password: Your email password


Outgoing host name: smtp.comcast.net

Username: Your email address-even if optional

Password: Your email password


And then next to verify account. If prompted further verification required, please go to Safari and go to your email page and sign into your email account.


If you need additional help, please let me know. I will not get off work until after 6 pm EST.


Thank you.

This worked for the sbcglobal.net accounts on iphone 5. My att.net accounts and other email acoounts were setup from backup and worked. The sbcglobal accounts did not work. I deleted them and added them back using your steps. I think you are correct about the IOS 6 yahoo server set up not working correctly. These accounts were fine on my previous Iphone. Thanks for the post.
