After setting up new iPhone 5 from restoring from backup my yahoo email will not accept the password on IOS 6 mail app? I need help with because I also lost all my notes that were synced through this account also.

There was another thread about some Yahoo server issues. I also had problems with them and followed the instructions and it worked fine. Basically you delete the account and set up as new but so it as other not as a Yahoo account. I'llsee if I can find it.

On your iPhone 5, go to "Settings"
- iCloud
- Storage Backup
- Manage Storage
- Backup (delete all of your old iphone backups)

Now you should be able to add your Yahoo mail with no problems...this is what worked for me.

Good Luck!
