A:

You would have to log in to Yahoo mail in a browser and poke around in the settings. I haven't used it myself but I know it causes problems with i-devices.

If you have two-step verification on, turn it off. Alternatively, you can use the Yahoo Mail app - it works very well.

Hi AmishCake

Thanks for the response, but how do I go about turning off the two step verification?
