Account Verification Failed - I-Phone

Anonymous
Not applicable
I've just bought a Sim Only from 02 for use with an I-Phone 3G

I am not able to set-up my yahoo email and keep getting the below error message:

"Account Verification Failed"

"Check incoming mail server field"

This is a personal email address i am trying to connect to (not a company one as in previous posts)

Does anyone have the answer to what seems to be a common problem?

I've tried resetting all settings / network settings / turning on and off etc

thanks!

This then brings up:

"Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service"

?
