Hello,
I have a droid 1 and am running the latest stock 2.2. Over the last week I have not been able to consistently get email from my Yahoo account. I have it set up using both the stock email program and K-9. When I use the stock email program I am not getting any notifications of new mail so I hit the refresh key and get a "username or password invalid." I have rekeyed the password at least 20 times but it still wont login (no problem logging in from the computer). I deleted the account and tried to set it up again and have the same problem every time. When I use K-9 I just get no new emails no matter what I do.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this incredibly frustrating issue or have you run into this problem before?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I don't use Yahoo mail but my wife does. She has intermittently run into this issue since day 1 (back in 12/09) with Yahoo mail and the stock email app. The Yahoo mail app works but seems sluggish IMO. The web interface seems reliable.
 
WiFi and Yahoo mail

I think the problem is that Yahoo mail does not work when you are on wifi. You need to be on 3g. Not sure why.
