Yahoo Email

[twalber]

So I go through Set up Email, type in my email address, password and then click next. It doesn't work. I then go back and hit manual setup, but I don' the answers. I'm assuming it's an IMAP account?
then what's the:
IMAP Server
Port
Security Type
IMAP Path prefix

Any help?

Thanks

for exchange or yahoo?

 

[ecor]

for yahoo. i still cannot set up exchange.

 

[v-6 nolo]

not for me.

make sure you enter your full email address on the username field. it says username but it must be your email address...name@yahoo.com

In an actual Verizon store the salesman told me they are having problems with yahoo mail right now but hope to get it worked out.

Gonna try out what ecor said tho.

Mine is doing the same thing i entered my complete yahoo email and password and it says invalid username/password, hope I can get this to work.. On another note, does anyone know the difference between the gmail icon and the email icon on the home screen, both seem to be linked to my gmail account right now, so is there a need for both??

This issue does suck, but if you want yahoo mail you have to have the premium account.

Thats really lame, because on the blackberry you don't, and the VZW employee told me it would do it for sure..

where do i get it? and what is it

you have to sign up for it @ yahoo

From a business standpoint it would be more likely that google is hindering the process more than yahoo. Why would they make this open only to premium users? It seems like google would rather "push" people over to gmail by making yahoo hard to sync with as opposed to yahoo demanding people upgrade to use their servies on a mobile platform...just IMHO.
