Close the mail app on the ipad and go to a computer, sign in to your yahoo mail account and do the verification that it pops up. If there is no such thing that pops up then go back to your iphone and do the following:

1.) Delete the yahoo mail account on your iphone.

2.) Add mail account using "other" instead of "Yahoo!" and setup as IMAP account.

3.) Use the following information:

- username MUST include @yahoo.com at the end

- incoming server = imap.mail.yahoo.com

- outgoing server = smtp.mail.yahoo.com

- always retype your password
