yahoo email issues

[shanz04]

I have had my account connected to the phone through the email app (pre-installed) since I got it in August without an issue. I had to change my email password this morning now no matter what I do I can't get it to work. I keep getting a message saying error 503 service unavailable. I checked if I needed a software update that is good pulled the battery and even tried deleting the yahoo account and even when I try to do that I get an error saying delete account failed. Any other idea's?

Go to your app drawer. Go to Settings>Application Manager> Swipe over to the where is says All at the top. scroll down to Email select it. Clear defaults and Cache then force stop. Reboot the phone go into the email app and re enter your Yahoo stuff...

I tried this fix and my yahoo email will still not load. Although I have another yhaoo account that does.

Are you getting an error at all? Verify you are using the right password and the email is entered properly.... Overall I highly recommend going with either the actual yahoo app or K9... The stock app has many known issues and flaws.

Yes I am getting the 503 error. When I try to remove the account a message says I would have to do a factory reset

Are you sure that you cleared the data in application manager..... Sounds like it didn't take... Try that again...

Yes the data is at zero. It will not allow me to do anything else. Not even a forced stop
