How to set up Yahoo Email Account!

[johnb40]

One reason why it may not work

I know this is an old thread but I was having issues setting up my yahoo email on my droid and finally decided to turn my phone off and then turn it back on and it set up without a hitch.

Just saying this may help any future people searching the forum.

I know this is an old thread but has anyone tried turning their phone off and then turn it back on and try setting up their yahoo mail? Because I was having the same issue with account name or password being wrong or not able to connect to server errors. Once I rebooted my phone, it setup without a hitch.

Hopefully this will help any future users searching the forum with this issue.

it didnt let me get past the NEXT option..

@scottsdaleserver I got the same problem. Any Luck? I changed my port number to 993 and it did some thingking and gave me a different error message. I geuss I'm making some progress.

Everytime I try it says cannot connect to the mail server. verify your account information. Server is not responding. I am finding this extremely frusterating.

My wife always had problems with her Yahoo account until I switched her to K9, FWIW.

For those having trouble,

Incoming - imap.mail.yahoo.com with port 993 and SSL all certificates

outgoing - smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com and port 587 - no security.

Of course you can also use Yahoo mail's android app

I found this on Solomandrin.net. Gotta love ol' Sal!

before you pay for such services you should try to set up your Yahoo account via IMAP following the next steps:

- Go to mail icon
- Add account
- Enter email address in email address filed (name@yahoo.com)
- Enter password at password field
- Select MANUAL SETUP not next
- Select IMAP
* username= name@yahoo.com
* password = yourpassword
* IMAP server= imap.mail.yahoo.com
* port = 143
* security = none
* optional = blank
- Select NEXT

You will then be prompted to sign in do so.

Will then be taken to the SMPTP settings which only prompts (going form memory) you for address which is smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com. leave the port as is. Then select NEXT. Sign in. Name your account and that’s it.

This works great...if your WiFi is turned off. As soon as I did, it worked like a charm, thanks! So everyone, turn off your WiFi when setting up !

This is what finally worked for me!

Does not work for me... says the user name or password is incorrect (which it isn't). Bug in Android?

Thank you so much for that info - I tried for hours last night to get that to work and your suggestion was like magic!

 

[ibennoon]

It doesn't work for me as well, getting message: "Username or password incorrect. (530 Access denied:Only Mobile users are allowed on this server).
