Hi Guys,
I've added yahoo to my droid with the following info:
Steps Settings
1) Edit Account: email ...........(next)
2) Incoming Settings:
Protocol: IMAP
Email Address: Yahoo email
Username: Yahoo email
Password: Yahoo password
IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type: None
Server Port: 143...........(Next)
3)Outgoing Server Settings
Check login required
Username: email
Password: password (account)
SMTP Server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type: None
Server Port: 25....(Next)
4) Edit Account
Account name: email address
your name: email address
(Make this my default mail account-I left unchecked)....Finish Setup


Not sure if this is what your asking for. If you need help, you can email me or post. You can change the settings on how often to check for emails.  I downloaded the yahoo yoodle to alert me when I get emails from my accounts

I'm still checking for business and student emails....hopefully those can be set up as well  at some point.

Oh, as far as I know there is no truth to the yahoo premium service (it's not required).
(This email thing was what kept me from enjoying the Eris the first few weeks and  missing my BB)

Ok, this time I did what LatinAngel suggested. I had to go in to manual set up & then in addition to putting the email address & password, I made sure to enter these:
IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type: None

I sent a test email from my phone but it was rec'd as a text message to my yahoo account. So, still trying to figure that out. BUT, I can check my yahoo mail (& it is the free version) as well as my new gmail account,  on my phone.

i followed latin angel's instruction right down to the tee and it still tells me authentication failed. please verify your username/password.  what gives?  does anyone have a clue to how this setup works for my yahoo account?

yes, i just tried it again to make sure and still nothing.  here is what i am doing... home page, hit the Mail icon, manual setup, and then i followed latin angel's instructions + yours and i get the same message.  i know i am doing something wrong but i am not sure what that is.

I do have a google account.  I"ll give that a try, thanks!
