Email errors?

WTF, I'm trying to use the preloaded email app, I type in my yahoo mail email info and it rejects me saying it can't authenticate.


These should be the parameters:

Type is IMAP

Username: Enter email address
Password: Enter password
IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143
Security: none
SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Require sign in: Yes (checked)
Username: Email address
Password: Yahoo! Password

lol .. it took me quite some time and a lot of trial and error redoing it to come up with those parameters.

Good on ya to put it all in here.

Now, could you do the same with inbox.com? :D
