The connection to the server "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" on port 993 timed out

I currently have three Yahoo! Mail Accounts on my iPhone. Two of the accounts work fine, but the third cannot connect and I am getting the following error:


the connection to the server "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" on port 993 timed out


This is highly unusual since two Yahoo accounts work just fine and it is only this last one that will not. I've tried deleting the account and adding it again with the same error. I've verified my password is correct, by logging in to my email account through the web. What would cause only one account to not connect?

iPhone 5, iOS 8.4

This problem started for me last night. After I realized I couldn't fetch new email I deleted the yahoo account & attempted reinstalling a few times. Turned off phone. Nothing is helping. Apple, PLS help!
