how do you sign in and out of yahoo mail?

[c_law23]

I have my yahoo account set up using the phones email client and i have an email with several pictures. I downloaded the first picture fine. When i attempted to download the second i got a prompt that said "login failed" says the same thing when i try to refresh the account. I go into the settings and all of the login info is correct but when i hit next it says incorrect username or password. Anyone else having this issue? I can't figure it out. My only guess is to delete the account and reinstall it. I've been having problems with my different email accounts on this phone, though the first one with my school account was my fault lol.

Yah mine does that too. It seems to only do it when im on wifi. If im on 3g, I never have a problem.

ah, yeh that's a good observation. I am at home with my wifi on and it's the first time I'm had this issue. Very odd. Does it just fix itself for you?

ah nevermind, i see. as soon as i turned wifi off it worked. Wow, what a PITA.

No, I just turn wifi off. i never use wifi because of that problem

yeh, i see. It's unfortunate as using my home wifi signal to download the attachments would be really helpful as it's faster then the network.

I found our solution. Download maildroid from marketplace. Its free and I like it better than the stock mail application! Oh, and it works with wifi.

Maildroid must setup the servers in a way to avoid this issue. Does anyone know the settings? I would like to avoid a program that has advertisements eating up bandwith.

Yahoo only allows email via 3g. You cannot get it on wifi on any android device. If you want to use Yahoo you have to disable wifi. This won't be fixed by any update. It's a Yahoo issue not android/google/vzw.

pardon my ignorance on the issue, but what is the difference of me being able to access via wifi on my laptop and accessing it via wifi on my phone? both use the same network.

If that is the case, then how come maildroid works on wifi?

Exactly. If Maildroid can work on WiFi then it hast to be in the configuration.
