Yahoo Mail stops working on N4, what's up?

[billdz]

Hi,

On my N4, I have 2 email accounts running, Yahoo and my company email. Every couple of days, the Yahoo mail stops working. I get an "unable to login" error message, even with a strong signal. The company email keeps working with no problem. Turning the phone off and then back on does not help. Eventually the problem goes away by itself and the Yahoo mail starts working again. The problem usually surfaces when connected only via my cell network (T-Mobile). I don't think it occurs when the phone is on wi-fi. Any thoughts on why this is happening and any fix?

Thanks,
b

I have the same problem. The problem fixes itself. Yahoo email sometime work and sometimes don't. When I got 4.3, Yahoo email was doing fine and I thought 4.3 fixed that problem. 2 days later, I am getting the same "unable to login" error message.

I sometimes encounter this using the email app on my phone (not the Yahoo app). What I do is remove my account and then add it again. This works for me.

I found this thread, it seems others have had the same problem, no one in the thread seems to have a working solution, other than switching to the Yahoo app:

Anyone tried K9 mail app. I have used it for a couple of years with no problems.

I think yahoo is doing this purposely to get more folks to install their App.
