Yahoo email. getting it to work without the yahoo app?

[jocko1]

Whenever I try to add my yahoo account to the "add accounts" menu or whatever, I get an error message. Somebody got a fix?

Wait what? I'm sorry, I may just be a little dumb or something. But after clicking on "corporate" in the add accounts section, none of that shows up. Where can I find/do all of that?

 

[Droid-Xer]

Set it up through the stock email client

 

[jocko1]

It says it can't connect to the outgoing server.

I have the same issue for outgoing server.

Try

Smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com

You have to also select SSL for security, it will automatically select the correct ports.

 

[Droid-Xer]

Ah yes. Forgot that. Thanks.

You do not have to select ssl for security. If you do it like Droid-Xer says in his last post it works. At least it did for me. It may have selected SSL automatically for me but I did not manually do it. I entered Smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com and it worked. Thanks D-Xer for the suggestion.

 

[Droid-Xer]

Yup no problem.
