Got a replacement iphone 5 today. After restoring and trying to check my yahoo email it asked for my password which I entered but it says "checking for email" and nothing happens. So I deleted the account and tried to add it again. When I put in my password during setup it says "yahoo servers unavailable". I have 2 yahoo email addresses and the other one isn't giving me problems. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
 
Yahoo email has become very unreliable !

I've got also 2 yahoo accounts for more than 10 years and I'm so unhappy with their reliability. I'm in the middle of transition my yahoo accounts to gmail which much more promising, much more features comparing to yahoo.Unfortunately, yahoo made the transition to other e-mail providers very complicated. But I think finally I'll succeed.
