Yahoo Mail

[ScottH]

I just got the HTC inspire, i am having issues setting up my yahoo mail. I have read other threads... none which have helped much. I did manual set up to link my account and i am now in my yahoo mail inbox but there are no emails in my inbox and i cant receive any emails. When i am doing manual setup for emails what should be the settings I input? Any assitance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nice, thanks that worked. Appreciate it.

Do i also need to add this account to the account/sync to recieve push notifications or is this option somewhere else? Thanks.

If you're using the stock mail client, those settings are within the app.

You could always download the yahoo mail app. I don't believe you can set yahoo mail to push with the stock mail app.

I use Yahoo mail exclusively, and i use the stock HTC/android app. I have no issues with it at all.

When i try adding my yahoo account to 'Mail' it keeps tellin me my info is incorrect. I used yahoo app and it worked great but used 23mb in running services. Now i use K9 for it amd it only uses 5mb. Does the stock mail client use less?

Is yahoo an imap or pop?

I believe you can do either. I use pop.

Apparently yahoo in "mail" app does NOT work over wifi. We have to use mobile data. Kinda lame.
