Noob question. Now that we can get Yahoo mail how and what app do I use? (Isaid I was a Noob)

I just use the "Mail" app and add the Yahoo account. Most people think that you have to have Yahoo mail Plus in order to set it up as POP but that's not true. Below are the setup instructions to add a fee Yahoo account to the Mail app, or any mail client for that matter:

How to set up Yahoo! IMAP email:

–This does not require Yahoo! Plus Mail, the paid service of Yahoo! mail.
1. From the home screen, touch the applications tab (at the bottom of the screen)
2. Touch Email
3. Touch Manual Setup at the bottom left corner
- Select the IMAP option
4. In the incoming server settings, enter the details as follows:
Username: [email protected] (enter your complete yahoo email address)
Password: enter your yahoo password
IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143
Security Type: None
IMAP Path Prefix: leave blank
5. Touch next to continue to SMTP Server Settings and enter the details as follows:
SMTP: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Security Type: None (Checkmark “required sign-in”)
Username: [email protected] (enter your complete yahoo email address again)
Password: enter your yahoo email password again
6. Touch Next
7. Fill out your personal information (Name etc.)
–If you are having problems be sure that WiFi is OFF then try again

How to set up Hotmail POP3:

1. From the home screen, touch the applications tab (at the bottom of the screen)
2. Touch Mail

Username: [email protected] (enter your complete hotmail address)
Password: enter your hotmail password
POP3 server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
Security type: SSL
5. Touch Next to continue to SMTP Server Settings and enter the details as follows:
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Port: 587
Security type: TLS
–Check mark “Require sign-in”
Username: [email protected] (enter your complete hotmail address again)
Password: enter your hotmail password again
6. Touch Next
7. Fill out your personal information (Name etc.)
–If you are having problems be sure that WiFi is OFF then try again
