Mail app not working on wifi for yahoo

Yahoo mail on the mail app comes thru fine on Verizon network. But when I switch wifi on - it just spins for a while - then says cannot connect to server. Please help. Thought maybe someone else may have this issue since the new iOS 17 update.

Use a New App Password for Each Device:

Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Create a unique one for each device. Remove the current one, and then use the new one instead. Sometimes, changes (i.e. updates) are made to the device, and then mail server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new App Password it intended to fix).
