i dont know if anyone else has had any trouble with their yahoo business accts or not. i'm not on an exchange server, so i just use the normal imap, or pop accts on my iphone. we have a company website that we have yahoo business emails thru. i was able to set up the acct, receive email, and even got all my folders to show up where i could edit, move, or delete whatever messages that came in, and have it take effect on the server as well. it wasnt until today that i realized that the emails i was sending out were never getting to the recipient. the acct acted like they were sent, and i never had any error messages or anything. long story short, i did some research and found that iphones dont play well with yahoo bizmail accts. what i mean by bizmail is that the smtp reads:smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com, or pop.bizmail.yahoo.com for the incoming server. anyway, i spent some time on the phone with att, then apple. while waiting for apple, i found some information which i'll post in a sec. i explained what i found to the apple tech guy who said, hmmm, try it. i did and it worked great. i dont have the folders anymore so the "imap" functionality i suppose is gone, but thats not too big of a deal as i always store emails within outlook anyway. the main thing is that my emails are actually being sent now. here is the information i found. i just copied and pasted it here. hope maybe it helps somone.
