Cannot access sky yahoo e-mail in Outlook Android after password reset

Yesterday I updated my Sky password to try and access my TV account on-line.  

 

Having done so my Outlook app on my phone stopped receiving mail.  I can still see them on my PC but not the phone which is a Samsung.  I tried to delete the e-mail account and reinstall the app but I am getting knowhere.

 

Every time I go to the log in screen I get a message saying it either will not authenticate or wait for a period of time, typically in excess of 40 mins and this goes around and around!

Whe setting it up are you setting it up as a Yahoo email account or as a Other one ?

 

If other try these settings:

 

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server

Server - imap.tools.sky.com
Port - 993
Requires SSL - Yes


Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server

Server - smtp.tools.sky.com
Port - 465
Requires SSL - Yes
Requires authentication - Yes

 

Don't use your usual password but instead log in here and generate a 16 digit one and use that:
