Hi all. I have downloaded the Yahoo Mail app as suggested for better security. I was using a secured wi fi access when renting a house on vacation. Since then, my emails on the phone are not syncing to current date and time. Phone is telling me that 'sign-in' failed, then asking for a password for my server. How do I correct this and what password is it asking for? Thanks.

I would delete the application and re-install. It seems that the account was setup on a POP3, IMAP, or SMTP. I have listed the Server info for each below:
Incoming Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Security: SSL
Outgoing Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Port: 587
Security: SSL/Authentication
Username: Full Email Address
Note that Yahoo prefers IMAP on mobile devices
