Help E mail account problem

[Mr Nike Top]

Hi

I bought an S3 today to replace my iPhone 4S.

I am based in the UK and have switched my provider from O2 to Orange.

My problem arose when I was setting up my web based e-mail accounts. Hotmail accounts worked in the Auto set up with no problems at all but when I tried doing the same my @yahoo.co.uk address it keeps telling me my Username or Password is incorrect.

I am certain I am entering the correct login details having logged into the e-mail account on other devices but the S3 will not accept that the information I have given it is correct.

Is this a known problem and is there any way round this?

Thanks in advance for any replies
