Yahoo Mail Pop or Imap working for you 6/27/12?

Same here, my Gmail account syncs through the native email app. I deleted my hotmail and gmail account from the Email app. When I added my gmail back on as soon as I started typing the password the "manual setup" and "next" buttons lit up so I could move forward with the set up. When I do it with hotmail the buttons never are clickable, they are greyed out. Something is afoot

when I try to synch Gmail it works, but Yahoo doesn't work and hasn't since yesterday morning.

I've had this happen with my yahoo email at least three times. Its annoying but eventually it straightens out (without any action on my part). I've tried removing the account and re-adding it, and still no dice. I had to use the browser to fetch my yahoo mail. It hasn't happened to me for at least two months now however.

The Android mail client has a problem that no one is admitting. Periodically, the app can't connect to the mail server and reports that the username or password is incorrect. After hours and sometimes days, it reconnects as if there was never a problem. Gmail has no problem. It uses a separate app. Every other mail I know, not just Yahoo, has had this problem. Yahoo has it often. iPhone, iPad and iPod mail clients never have this problem. Therefore it has got to be the Android app. Why doesn't someone own up to facts and either fix it or at least admit the problem is too difficult for them to fix.

Experiencing issues with yahoo on my Gnexus too. Started a few days ago and now its gumming up my gmail and work email on my phone from opening.


Keeps saying it loses connection to yahoo. I get mail fine but keep getting lost connection message. Also getting a message that says email is not responding.

Pulled battery and have restarted several times. Hmmmmmm. What to do?
