Deleted Yahoo Email Account - Now Can't Re-Add It

[TBoltOwner]

I deleted my Yahoo email account on my TBolt by mistake.  Now, when I try to re-add it, I get this error message - "An account with this email address already exists."  I don't want to use the Yahoo Mail app because it seems to be a battery hog.  Does anyone have an idea how I can get this to work?  Thanks in advance!

Trying clearing the cache from your email app by going to Manage Apps, All, Email.  First force close, then clear data and cache. Then attempt to setup the email again.

Thanks for the reply!  However, I'm not using an app for email...just the stock program that came with the phone.

That's what I was referring to ... the stock e-mail application.

The stock email application on the Tbolt is called "Mail".

So the steps would be Settings > Apps > all tab > scroll down to Mail > clear cache > clear data.

Then back out to the home screen to open Mail and add a new account under the other email account option.

Thanks for the clarification; there's sometimes a few steps (or app names) different from phone to phone and I wasn't aware of this one.

It's the custom UI changes at its finest or worse...

I'll give that a shot...thanks for the help!

Unfortunately, that did not work.  It gave me the option to clear the cache, which I did, but not clear the data.  I did a Restart after clearing what I could and then tried to add the account...no luck.  Oh well...

Weird, because my Mail application had the option to clear the data.
