Hi see me response (in another category, but exactly the same as you have).

Its fixed now!


Hi,



having just upgraded my iPhone 4 to 6.1.3 two days ago and after reading James Ward's comments on BT Yahoo Mail (all bets are off), I thought I was truly doomed.

I tried umpteen manual configuration changes and also deleted the Yahoo mail Account I had on my phone.



BTW, I have a "name@btopenworld.com" email address.

I was also able to login with same username/password as above to the BT Yahoo mail on the Web just fine and see all my emails, so it was just through the Mail App on my iPhone I had the problem (and only after the upgrade to 6.1.3)



At various points I had the following error messages:



Error message 1

============

The IMAP Server apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is not responding.

Check network connection.

Check "Incoming Mail Server" field.



Error message 2

============

The Operation couldn't be completed.

(MFMessageErrorDomain error 1032)



Error message 3

=============

Server unavailable

Please try again later.



So after 2 calls from Apple (yes they called me, no cost), I have it working;

Here are the settings I did:



POP account Information

name, email as above



Incoming Mail Server

host name: mail.btinternet.com

username: email as above

password: password



Outgoing Mail Server

SMTP: mail.btinternet.com



(selecting the Outgoing Mail Server above...)



Primary Server: mail.btinternet.com (ON)



(selecting the Primary mail Server above...)



Server (ON)

Hostname: mail.btinternet.com

Username: email as above

password: password

Use SSL (OFF)

Authentication: password (ticked)

Server Port: 25



Go back to main Account screen

Select your Btopenworld account just created

scroll down and select Advanced

Use SSL (OFF)

Authentication: password (ticked)

Server Port 110



S/MIME: OFF



After I did that and I opened up my mail app, it synced and downloaded all my emails!! :-)

Nothing lost.



Thanks to Apple for their help.
