HOW TO: Set Up Yahoo Mail

Does anyone have a way to do this? MyDroid won't let me set it up.....Can't find the server

Ok guys... This is how you set up Yahoo mail

Select Manual Setup
IMAP

Enter Yahoo User name and Password

For server incoming:
imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port 143

For server outgoing:
smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
port 587

Hope this helps

I have the normal yahoo and it works on the droid.  A Verizon Rep can get you hooked up with Yahoo mail.  I didn't want to wait for them to do it for me so the rep gave me the instructions.  I went home and followed the directions and had no problem setting up all my yahoo accounts.

Yep scroll up for directions...

Thanks Tweedz, this was just the info I was looking for. Set it up and it works perfect. You used to post over at lg-dare.com too right?

Yeah, turned in my Dare for the Droid. So far, so good although I do miss the camera on the Dare. I wonder how many other Dare-to-Droid converts there are around here? That's funny, now I do remember seeing your scores on Pacman. Used to play the arcade version alot when i was a kid, but damn that version they have at lg-dare.com com was pretty tough!

I just found this on Got yahoo free mail the hard way!...

I am one of the many who tried to all the other walkthroughs to get yahoo mail set up and none of them worked. I finally found one that works. It involves changing your settings to Yahoo Asia. You have to use both computer and Droid for this. Here goes step by step. Walking back through this so if some info is missing list it and I will edit this post. Here goes step by step.

1)  login to Yahoo mail and go to your mailbox
2)  go to options>mail options (top right of your mailbox)
3)  go to account information (bottom of options on left and it will ask for your password)
4)  go down to account settings and click on "Set language, site, and time zone"
5)  go to the new setting tab under "preffered content" and select Yahoo! Asia click finished
6)  go back to your mail option screen and now go to the "POP & Forwarding" selection
7)  click on "Set up or edit POP & Forwarding"
  now make sure "Web and POP access" is selected and click on the pop settings

That will show you what to enter into manual setup but I am going over it again anyway

9)  grab your droid and go the the email manual setup
10)  key in username and password
11)  go to the POP3 selection
12)  POP3 SERVER: pop.mail.yahoo.com
use port: 995
SECURITY TYPE: SSL
CLICK NEXT
13)  NOW ON THIS SCREEN
SMTP SERVER: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
use port: 465
security type: SSL
Make sure require sign-in is checked
verify username and password
and click next.
14)  set your frequency and notification settings
15)  Name your Account and you are ready to go

Follow step by step and this will work if none of the other ways have worked for you. It looks like a lot, but only takes about 5-10 mins.

very helpful info, ive been using the yahoomob app but it wont alert me. this is a life saver since yahoo is my primary mail. i am also a former dareian turned omnian turned droidian......lol, like the names??
