Email On Ipad

[lorash]

For months I've had no problem sending and receiving email on my iPad but now a message comes up saying incorrect username or password. I know it's not an incorrect user name or password because if I go to the bt site I can log in perfectly well and get my email from there. It's just inconvenient not being able to get it direct from the iPad. Any ideas please? Has anyone else had the same problem? Many thanks.

fast forward to "Summary of the problem"

Short version - don't allow two devices to access the Yahoo mail servers at the same time (some software does auto fetch every so often) on pain of a 12 hour lockout for whichever device tries second.
