You have to have Yahoo premium to get that to work with Yahoo.

Your ρhoηε is synchronized to your Gmail username and ρassωord. U need to doωnload Yahoomail aρρ from the Marκεt. After that your Yahoomail can be synchronized as ωell.

If you want to use the pre-installed email app then set up Yahoo with these settings:

Incoming Settings
--------------------
username: <username>@yahoo.com
password: <your password>
IMAP server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
port:143
security type: none
IMAP Path Prefix: <leave blank>

Outgoing settings
-------------------
SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Security Type: none
Require Sign-in: checkbox checked
username: <username>@yahoo.com
password: <your password>

i'll give that a try, thanks much!

EDIT:
Oops, I tried and it only let me do incoming settings, then hit next...and it said it couldn't establish a connection.

do i need to do outgoing settings at same time? how do i do that...phone isn't giving me option.

thanks much!

You should just be able to select the Yahoo email account and Edit Settings to get to the incoming and outgoing settings.

I've tried a few Yahoo apps, and have not been impressed with any of them. I check my Yahoo email box via the browser (Opera Mini), which works quite well for my needs. Also check Gmail that way too.

I li&#954;&#949; &#1059;ahoomail & &#1059;ahoo &#1084;&#949;ss&#949;&#951;g&#949;r a&#961;&#961;. &#914;&#965;t since I don't use `em that much I decided to uninstall `em because those a&#961;&#961;s take up at least 5mb each. My &#961;ho&#951;&#949; is not rooted and an increase from 50mb to 60mb just from deleting those 2 a&#961;&#961;s is huge gain.

Just a comment... I prefer the official Yahoo Mail app over manually configuring the built-in "E-Mail" app.

I use the E-mail App to check my e-mail on a different generic POP server out there, and the notifications do not seem to work as well as they do on the Yahoo Mail (or Gmail) App.

With the E-mail app, the new mail icon pops up when I get new mail there and then goes away after a short time, so I will not notice I have a new message unless I'm actually looking at the phone when it comes in. The Yaho and Gmail notifications stay until I acknowledge them.

Not sure if others have the same problem, but I vaguely remember reading about other people having similar issues.
