For Those with Yahoo! Mail Issues Since the Update

[Gawain]

For whatever reason, a few days after the update (actually this past Thursday), my email from my Exchange Server and my Yahoo! Mail completely sh!t the bed.

I had to delete, and re-add the accounts, and the EAS still isn't 100% (thought I had that beat, but I digress).

When I went to re-add the mail account, the menu did not present all the different mail services, just a generic POP/IMAP. I did the automatic set-up and it defaulted to POP.

For those that find that unacceptable, here are the IMAP settings right off of Yahoo!'s Help Page and you can manually set-up the IMAP settings:

Incoming Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Incoming Port: 993 (SSL)
Outgoing Port: 465 (SSL or TLS)

User name is full email address.

Here's the rub, I can't guarantee this will work. Even as I was able to set it up and my ThunderBolt could negotiate with Yahoo!, it's still not 100%. In fact, as I write this, it has stopped working and cannot currently connect. Your mileage may vary. What really ticks me off about it though is that I use Yahoo! Mail Plus and do some hosting with them, so fact that this basic stuff doesn't work grinds my gears. As much as I would like to point the finger at Yahoo!, I can't rule out Android Good luck...

Just putting it out there...if anyone has any success or failure, maybe we can have a meeting of the minds to find a solution. Yahoo! support, as expected, is pretty much non-existent.

Set a browser like Dolphin to not report itself as Android then go to mail.yahoo.com It'll attempt to load the newest version of the site then whine about the screen resolution and offer to take you to an older (minus all the bloat) version of the site.

Tada! You're not auto-forced to the crappy mobile version of the site and you can actually get your e-mail gone through, forwards or backwards, unlike with the Yahoo Mail Android app.

It would be nice if browsers for Android had a feature to choose *for individual links or sites* whether or not to use the normal site or (if there is one) the mobile version.
