    Buyer beware!!! Yahoo mail will not work!!

    This is extremely frustrating that Yahoo mail will not
    work
    on your Motorola Droid amogst all other Non-working
    things.

    After few days of use, I started thinking BB Storm was much better.

    I am making a frustration list and will post it soon.

    Be frustrated with Yahoo not the Droid.... they are the ones that are causing Yahoo not to work properly, because they want you to purchase Yahoo Plus. Yahoo has agreements with RIM so there email works with a BlackBerry.

    This is like being frustrated that Internet explorer won't work right on a Mac. Why would either company want to help your cause? It's a google phone... Get gmail.

    I guess I have to agree with this one! Cool, but I'm guessing kudos to BB who has that agreement but not DROID.

    Exaclty...It is Yahoo being greedy, nothing to do with the phone. If you want free yahoo on you phone....tell YAHOO!

    Hold up guys!! I got my Droid in NOV and felt your pain; then I found the DroidForum ....what a God-send!! I learned a great deal on the care and feeding of the Droid... a lot of which is not in the manual or available on-line. One of the finds was how to set up the Droid to receive Yahoo Mail without buying into the Plus...

    txskeets posted this information:



    "Go to manual setup > IMAP account and change to these settings....


    Imap server - imap.mail.yahoo.com

    SMTP Server- smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com"

    I followed the info and have been getting all of my e-mail from the two Yahoo mail accounts I have. What's really great is that when I open the e-mail window it will update...so that any mail you already read and deleted gets deleted in front of your eyes!

    Try it, you'll like it!!

    The only flaw with that is that when you're on Wifi, Yahoo won't work.

    Also tripp racioppi there have been wide spread reports of even after trying this method Yahoo worked for a while then quit...or did not work right. Others have had great success with it....
