Thread: Choosing a mail provider problem

hiya i am trying to access my yahoo mail via the "Choos a mail provider" option but after entering my usernname and password on the "Other (POP3/IMAP)" it kept saying invalid username & password. why is that? is there another way to access my yahoo mail on my device? the Gmail mail is fine so far.

Hi, I just got a Tattoo and am encountering exactly the same problem when trying to register my Yahoo mail account on my new phone.

Anybody got any ideas why?

Here are the instruction on how to get Yahoo Mail on you HTC Tattoo:

ccess your Yahoo account on your PC.

In the top right hand corner, click "Options" then "Mail Options" from the drop-down menu.

From the left hand pane click "Accounts" then click on the "Add or edit an account" link.

You're now in "Mail Accounts". In the left hand pane click "Account information". You may be asked to sign in again.

You're now in "Account Information": scroll down to "Account Settings" and click "Set language, site and time zone".

In the next page select "Yahoo Asia" from the NEW SETTING drop down menu, and GMT UK in the TIME ZONE.

Click the "Finished" button (very important!).

That's it. Now you must go to Mail forwarding and Turn On POP Forwarding.

Again, Click the "Finished" button (very important!).

Now you must manually enter these settings in your HTC Tattoo.

Incoming settings
Protocol = POP
Username = your full yahoo email address
PW: Your password
POP Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type = None

Outgoing settings
Username = same as above
PW = same
SMTP server = smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Security type = None
Server port = 587

That's it, now you will be able to receive Yahoo Mail on your HTC Tattoo.
