How can I make a second yahoo e-mail account on droid?
This is because for American yahoo account, unless you pay for Yahoo pro....you cant use droid email app for yahoo accounts. there are ways around it.....change your yahoo account to chinese......or do what I did, just use the droids web browser and go to your yahoo mail, and save the link on your home screen....
Even turning WiFi off doesn't guarantee that Yahoo will work. My fiancee doesn't use WiFi and she definitely doesn't turn it on (I turned it off for her) and Yahoo support is hit-and-miss for her.It just doesn't work on wifi... watch the video posted above
Non yahoo plus must be set up manually as an imap.
Start by entering your address and password as usual, you will get an error prompt, choose manual setup, choose imap...
In the top box for the incoming server info make sure in the first box the id is the full address including @yahoo.com
In the incoming server box enter: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Scroll down and hit Enter, the program should process the shift to the outgoing info screen
In the top box enter: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com, scroll down and hit Next....that should do the trick for ya...TBV
Actually, yahoo does have some issues for users on android...even using the settings above. I wrote an application that you may find useful called MailDroid that solves yahoo issues that many people have had. Also, I updated the application that it does work over wifi...you can get it here:
