I loaded the froyo update the day it came out and everything has basically been working ok. I realized today that I was no longer getting yahoo email notifications and I clicked on email to check it out. When I click on the email link on the bottom of the screen it used to take me to yahoo mail but now when I push it I get a black screen that says "load more messages" at the top. When I push on that nothing happens. I think my yahoo settings are gone but have no idea how to put them back in. I looked in settings but can not figure it out. How do I either make yahoo start working again or reenter the settings? Thanks for any help

When I had the problem I hit the email button at the bottom of the main screen. That took me to what was mostly a black screen. I then hit the button at the very bottom left of front of the phone. The button that is to the left of the home button. That brings up a menu at the bottom with different choices. Hit the more button and that brings up a sub menu where account settings is one of the choices. Once you get to settings menu. If you scroll down some you will see the incoming and outgoing settings.
