Help please in reactivating an old iPad (one of the earliest that came without a camera). It was working fine six months ago when I retired it. Now, when I try to go to my email I get a pop-up message
"The IMAP server "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" doesn't support (null) authentication. Please check your account settings and try again."
I have no idea what this means.
I have entered my current Yahoo password on the iPad (it may be different from what it was when I retired the iPad.
FWIW:
1. The Primary Server on the iPad reads "Yahoo! SMPT Server On"
2 I CAN retrieve the current issue of my daily newspaper on the old iPad: so the Internet connection works.
2. When I try to send a test message on the old iPad I do see it listed under SENT messages but when I try to view it I get the error message "The IMA server "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" doesn't support (null) authentication. Please check your account settings and try again."
Thanks. ...wdc
