Issues setting up my yahoo email...

**mgnet** · 02-08-2011, 01:29 PM

I keep getting an error that says either my email address or password is incorrect, but I have made sure that everything is correct...

What can be wrong ?

My only works through 3G and not on WIFI.

I got it to work with the following manual settings:

Incoming server settings
IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
port: 143
Security type: none

Outgoing Server Settings
SMTP Server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Security type: none
Require Sign In. Checked
Username: <Your user name>
Password: <your password>

Are you using POP3 or IMAP settings? If you're using one then try the other. The right one may be IMAP, though.

Mgnet, I was having the same issue as you. I tried the settings suggested by joop1987 (many others online suggested those as well) but they did NOT work for on my Optimus V default email app.

This IS what was successful for me:

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>

Hope this works for you too.

These settings worked for me, while the old ones did not.

Thanks. Your directions were the only one that worked

Or you can just use the Yahoo mail app.

The yahoo app is really bad. I couldn't get my yahoo mail to work on the stock OV unless I had yahoos terrible app. When I upgraded ROMs I was able to use the Android email app without having to change any settings.

The yahoo email app is actually bad *** for me. I have 3 different accounts and all my mail arrives quick style through 3G but I don't know about wi fi though. I'm using mrg's build.

This setup worked on my Motorola Triumph. Thanks
