This worked for me: Yahoo Mail On The Motorola Droid | Android Phone Fans

Follow these steps:


To set up Yahoo E-Mail in Android:
  1. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned off
  2. Press the E-Mail icon (the default Android E-Mail application)
  3. Enter your Yahoo E-Mail address and password
  4. Press “Manual Setup” in the lower left hand corner
  5. For “Incoming Server Settings” set the IMAP server to “imap.mail.yahoo.com” and the Port to 143
  6. For “Outgoing Server Settings” set the SMTP Server to “smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com” and the Port to 587
  7. Check “Require sign-in” and press Next
  8. Select how often your phone will check for Email, and choose default options
  9. Give the account a name and set your display name for outgoing messages
Done and done. You’ve now got Yahoo Mail on your Android and it will work with the all-new “Combined Inbox” in Android 2.0. Beautiful.


Thanks everyone
maybe this was the link:D

It was yay.

Ummm, for me, I did NOT need to do all thse steps above. I simply opened the native "Email" app. Went to add an account. All I had to do was put in the email address and password associated with the account and the app did the rest. There was no need to put in ports, incoming/outgoing server info. I'm assuming this was the "better Yahoo Mail" integration that was talked about in Verizons release statements. I have no issues at all with Yahoo Mail now. I rarely use it, but it does work effortlessly now. At least for me it did.

Absolutely correct, with 2.1 under the hood. No more multiple copies of sent emails. BTW the sent emails when they arrive in the "sent" folder at Yahoo Mail have headers that show the origin as "email.android.com" - I wonder if this is part of the fix?

This is NOT, must I repeat, NOT for the .yahoo extensions but for folks who have YAHOO MAIL with .ymail extensions!!!! If you have .ymail these are the instructions to manually set up the service. The 2.1 fixed the .yahoo extensions but DID NOT fix the .ymail extension without manually entering the info ABOVE.
