    I'm currently using MailDroid for my ATT email account (hosted by Yahoo) to do push email. Push email works fine, but MailDroid seems somewhat slow. I'd like to try K9, but I can't get push to work for this same account.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Here are the current settings I'm using, which work for MailDroid, but not K9:

    imap.mail.yahoo.com
    143

    smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
    587

    Thanks!

    You can try changing it to POP3 or try changing the port number.

    Was just reading about it. K9 doesn't work with Yahoo unless its set to POP3 but in order to use POP3 you have to pay to use Yahoo Mail Plus.

    Thanks Cyber Warrior. Guess I'll just stick with MailDroid.

    Not true. I don't have Yahoo Mail Plus and I get Yahoo on K-9 with no problems.

    OK...didnt know, thanks. Post your settings if you can please. There are plenty of people having a problem setting up K9 with Yahoo.

    I use the same setting as the OP, except outgoing is port 25. Security type is TLS and authentication type is PLAIN.

    Sorry, I didn't realize I wasn't using POP3, not sure if you meant just that or IMAP too.

    No...you got it right. IMAP is the correct setting.

    It's not "push" technically (though neither would maildroid). Basically it checks the mail about every 5-10 minutes.

    But yeah, mine is working with IMAP.
