Email won't send

[Dancemom]

All of a sudden I am not able to send email with my yahoo account. I can receive email, but when I try to send emails they go to my outbox and I get an error message that says, 'username/password incorrect'. I have been using this account for months and have never had a problem until a couple of days ago. Would appreciate any help!

Try removing and re-adding the account. Go into Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select your account and delete it. Then use Add Account and recreate the account. Be careful to type in the correct user name and password.

Don't worry. All your mail resides on the Yahoo server. It is safe.

Yeah.... It worked!! You were a huge help. I have been battling this for a couple of days and was starting to get frustrated. I had to delete the account twice. The first time didn't work, and I was having the same problem. The second time I tried it, I turned the iPad off before trying the email. This time it worked, and I am sending emails again. Thanks so much!
