Help Setting up yahoo email

[opplife]

what a nightmare trying to setup yahoo email

Ok I have figured it out. Now I am based in Canada and have a yahoo.ca email though this should work for any yahoo account

1. Startup htc desire
2. hit mail, then POP
3. Add email and password ( make sure wifi is on ) and hit next ( dont do manual )
4. Your setting up a POP email, so in the incoming set it to

Incoming mail server settings

* POP server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
* Use SSL
* Port: 995

5. Hit next to do outgoing

Outgoing mail server (SMTP) settings

* SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
* Use SSL
* Port: 465

6. add your name and finish

Be sure to type it as yahoo.com in the incoming and outgoing as shown above even though your email is whatever@yahoo.ca it still needs yahoo.com

Mine worked and pulled in... All without a PLUS account!

Why not just use the Yahoo app?

well said i also got Yahoo app as soon as it came out and for me it's great, at least it does all what i need.

+1 for that also. The Yahoo app works perfectly for me.

Because its another app when you already have a mail one that can handle multiple email accounts. Saves on space to just use what the htc desire came with
