I guess probably you have enabled two-step verification for extra security on Yahoo! Mail.

In that case you need app specific password for iOS mail app.

Watch the GIF below for generating and using app specific Yahoo password on iOS mail app. On other Yahoo app and on a web browser you do not require to generate this app specific password

Short lived excitement, after deleting yahoo account and adding back in with 2 step verification all email download and each item could be opened, fixed right!

No a few minutes later email header arrives and can not open email- say not downloaded from the server.

now also not receiving all new emails. Yahoo help categoric it’s nothing to do with them, it must be apples fault. Still I have a lot more memory now

Ironically 2 step authentication isn’t a problem, in fact Yahoo have stopped issuing 3rd party passwords. Turns out my phone was nearly out of storage, which seams to affect Yahoo but no other app
