yahoo mail problem - Page 2

I got my yahoo mail to work...
When it started acting up I deleted the account from the stock mail app, logged in to my mail account in the browser (used Dolphin as desktop) , then went back and added the account to the stock mail. It's been working fine since doing that, even through a couple resets and a battery pull. I tried that because I remember one of the messengers I used had a problem logging in and recommend trying it as a solution because Yahoo locked it out.

***Edit, forgot to add that I set it up from Mail/settings/new account/other(pop/imap). I don't know how much of a difference that makes but I am hesitant to test it considering that its working now.

Tried it. Didn't work. Will try again tomorrow though.

Yea...i've tried several times...no joy.....I'm not even seeing log in attempts on my regular yahoo page thru my laptop. I'm using the "yahoo mail app for android" on my evo and my evo3d and i see login attempts on my yahoo "log in attempts" page in my laptop browser.So i do see my yahoo app logged in. So i'm not "locked out". The issue is my stock mail app is not logging in correctly for whatever reason.

I hear the yahoo mail app is a battery hog. What's your thoughts on it?

Still no dice. Don't change anything. Have a feeling you might lose it all.

I'm fixing to quit paying the $20 a year. It's not like it works half the time.

I dont like doing pop3 on phone.

Exchange might be OK.

I am just going to use the browser for all my email.

I dont want to stress my 3D.

Only been running it a few days and only had the phone a week. So it's to early to say. It does give you a pop-up in the notification bar about new mail so it works well, plus it gives you access to all your folders. That said, i still want my stock mail to work correctly. It's not just the 3D it's not working on my EVO4g either. I noticed that my 3D was doubling the PW during sign-on attempts so i'm wondering if the phones IP's were "locked out" or blocked. Every time i checked the sign in and server info under account/settings i noticed the PW was listed twice in a row. I think this has something to do with it. But....wouldn't the yahoo app use the exact IP as my stock email app? Hmm...very confusing.... I noticed a lot of other's were having issues as well so who knows.
