Morning.

I'm trying to set-up my Yahoo account on my iPad so it shows in the mailbox automatically with my hotmail account but I'm having difficulty because the set-up is asking for "host name" on both the incoming mail server and outgoing mail server.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to put in those boxes. I use sky broadband if that helps but I've tried to put "sky.com" in both boxes and it says there is an error and that is not recognised. Can anyone help?
