Yahoo Mail Setup on Droid Incredible 2

djm224

I just purchased my Droid Inc 2 today and cannot get it to link to my Yahoo account. I have downloaded the Yahoo app from the market and when I enter my Yahoo userid and password it tells me it can not authenticate it, or that the userid/password is invalid. I know it is the correct one because I can go to my computer and log right in. 

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated because my husband is having the same problem with his Droid.

 

Thanks

HI! 

 

Have you tried using the native mail client to establish your Yahoo! email account on the Droid Incredible 2? The settings below come straight from Yahoo! Mobile support page. If the Market Yahoo! app is the route you want to go and it still won't authenticate, please contact Yahoo! Mobile directly for app support. 

 



How to set up Yahoo! Mail with your mobile client using IMAP

• On your phone, press < Home >, then open the Email application.
• On the 'Your accounts' page, select Next to get started with setup.
• Enter your full Yahoo! address and password, then select Next.
• On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.

 

If prompted, supply the following information:

• Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
• Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
• Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
• Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)
• Username: full email address (bill@yahoo.com)
• Password: is the password you login to Yahoo! with

 

Thank You!
