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
