I had this problem as well.  You will need to get on the internet and log onto your account to make sure your yahoo account is available if so log out and try it on your phone again.  I just done this after a week of getting mad because it kept saying server unavailable. and all I had to do was log into my yahoo account to verify some personal information

If verifying info on browser on desktop does not work then add your email as "other" and set up yahoo mail as IMAP using these informaion

usename MUST include @yahoo.com

incoming server = imap.mail.yahoo.com

outgoing server = smtp.mail.yahoo.com

 

Hope this will solve your problems.

You will have to change your password on the computer and then try accessing your yahoo account from your iphone.  It just worked for me...FINALLY! :)
