My yahoo email has been working fine since i set it up 3 weeks ago.

But startying yesterday afternoon i cannot send when on the mobile network but can when on wifi.

The outbound email server I have set to send to is plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com port 25

Anyone else noticed the issue. ?
 
Hi

I noticed something similar with the yahoo servers used for Nokia Messaging. I used to use Messaging on my N95, which seemed to a specific IMAP server - nokia-prem.imap.mail.yahoo.com /SSL /993. NB this only works if you've signed up for nokia messaging (don't think you need a nokia phone). This server used to work fine on the Desire mail app.

Was working fine with the HTC mail app until Wednesday, since then it has given 'login failed' messages. Yesterday it worked, and today it has given up again. On the account settings it gives an 'authentication failure' message. Tried on the N95 again, and it does work, so don't know what is wrong.

Tried switching to the mobile imap & mobile pop server without success, not yet tried the 'regular' pop server I use on outlook.
