Help Yahoo email not working after update

I loaded the froyo update the day it came out and everything has basically been working ok. I realized today that I was no longer getting yahoo email notifications and I clicked on email to check it out. When I click on the email link on the bottom of the screen it used to take me to yahoo mail but now when I push it I get a black screen that says "load more messages" at the top. When I push on that nothing happens. I think my yahoo settings are gone but have no idea how to put them back in. I looked in settings but can not figure it out. How do I either make yahoo start working again or reenter the settings? Thanks for any help

I am having the same problem. where in setting do I go to make this change?
 
On the main screen of the email app long press the yahoo account and select 'account settings'. Scroll down to 'server settings' and you will be able to set incoming and outgoing information.

I must be doing something wrong. when I open the Yahoo app and press long I do not get that screen. What am I doing wrong?
 
When I had the problem I hit the email button at the bottom of the main screen. That took me to what was mostly a black screen. I then hit the button at the very bottom left of front of the phone. The button that is to the left of the home button. That brings up a menu at the bottom with different choices. Hit the more button and that brings up a sub menu where account settings is one of the choices. Once you get to settings menu. If you scroll down some you will see the incoming and outgoing settings.
