Not that I know of and I have an iphone 4.  I sent Chris the settings 
for att/yahoo email.  They do use SSL secure connections for both 
incoming and outgoing email, so I suspect that might be the issue.

For the archives...


Incoming (POP)     inbound.att.net
Outgoing (SMTP) outbound.att.net
(requires authentication)
Incoming mail server:     POP3
Incoming/Outgoing User Name:     Full AT&T email address, including 
domain (e.g., test at att.net, test at bellsouth.net)
Incoming mail port #:     995, secure connection (SSL) checked
Outgoing mail port #     465, secure connection (SSL) checked
