Any way to use Yahoo on my Eris

[SuperStuff]

Now I'm having problems with accessing Yahoo e-mail. Worked fine until this morning. Maybe it will clear itself up later today.


*Note: I'm not sure how, but it fixed itself. All I did was log out and back in on my Yahoo e-mail acct on my PC so I'm not sure if that helped or it was coincidental. At any rate it's working now.

I was having the same problem. All I did was just gointo setting in yahoo nad forwarded all incoming mail form my yahoo account to my gmail account. Seems to be working fine. Tho it does not keep a copy in your yahoo mail

Just making sure you guys saw this post.
Mine is set for 4 hours.
I think I can be away from e-mail 4 hours at a time, see I have a laptop at home and work.....LOL

how do you set it to check email for 4 hours? i checked my settings and the longest period allowed is 1 hour.

Don't know what happened but I've been trying since the 4th to get my Yahoo on my Eris today I tried with the Imap settings and it when thru fine...

PS using K9 Mail to get it to push to the phone

I tried and tried, no luck for two days now.
I finally just setup a shortcut with my signed in yahoo mail account. Sure, no instant notification, but at least I can access it within a few moments.
Figured this might help others with the same issues.

Update...This just worked (stolen from elesewhere) I kept missing the "mobile" part on the bottom because it come sup automatic smtp.mail...etc, eyes played tricks on me!
Or, maybe it worked because I setup the above shortcut and signed in, either way both are working fine at this time.


UserName - your yahoo email account address
Password - your yahoo account password
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 143
Security type - none
IMAP path prefix - (none)

Outgoing Server Settings:
SMTP server - smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Potr - 587
Security type - none
Require Sign in - "checked"

Worked with this like a charm, thank you.
