Help setting up yahoo mail

i have a regular yahoo mail account, upon setting up from my x10, i keep getting invalid username/password. according to yahoo, you need to have a yahoo mail plus account or small biz account to do that.

however, i can setup the same yahoo mail account with my iPhone. so why is it ok for the iPhone and not the X10?

what version of android is the x10 running? setup fine on my Incredible, same as it did with my omnia before that.
 
The X10 runs 1.6

I had the same problem with googlemail, i've had 2 of these phones and i didnt have this problem on the second one which was weird. Anyway, try doing a manual set up, you should be able to find the POP/IMAP settings on your yahoo account.

Alternatively, as a workaround you could set up a new gmail account and forward all yahoo mail to that account and use gmail on your phone?

That's probably best anyway, gmail is better imho
