Yahoo email not working in mail app with iOS 11

My yahoo email is not updating the inbox after I upgraded to iOS 11.0.1. The junk (spam) email still works but not the inbox. I have removed it and rebooted several times. The yahoo mail app works fine but I do not want to use it permanently. Any thoughts?

iPhone 7, iOS 11.0.1

Just been playing around with this some more... I deleted the account (again) but when I re-installed it, instead of choosing the preset "yahoo" setup option l clicked "other", then manually set up the account using the following settings


incoming Server

Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server

  • Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
  • Port - 465
  • SSL - Yes


Now seems to be working and I have successfully sent and received emails

My wife started complaining of this issue this morning, then when I tried to send her a test email, my iPhone 5s started doing exactly the same. Now we can both receive emails but not send. Weird that it's only just started when emails were working fine until now. Tried several recommended setups, but no luck... Anyone got a solution for this yet?
