Has anyone been able to set up yahoo's ymail or rocketmail accounts on the TP2, if so, can you describe what the settings are please? Thanks in advance

Have you tried using the Wizard?

1. Tap Start > All Applications > Messaging > Setup E-mail.
2. Enter your E-mail address and the Password for your e-mail account and select the Save password option. Tap Next.
3. If e-mail provider settings are found preconfigured on your device, the E-mail Setup wizard shows a successful message. Tap Next.
4. If the settings are not found on your device, select the Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet check box to find and download e-mail server settings from the Internet and then tap Next.

Yes i tried, it finds the settings for ymail, but keeps forcing me to keep entering my username and password every time I try to send/receive

Put a check mark in the box entitle 'Remeber Password'

Tried that, doesn't make a difference, im trying to set up ymail. Do you have it set up on your device?

My yahoo mail ports to the phone if that is what your are asking.

I have a @yahoo.com account which syncs, but I also have a @ymail.com, which is provided by yahoo, which will not sync. Do you have a @ymail.com account, if so could you provide your imap and smtp sever info?

Ok then, no I do not have ymail. Sorry!

Got it to work finally, for ymail.com, anyone who wants to know the incoming mail server is: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Account type: Imap4
outgoing smtp mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com

My Yahoo account worked fine for first two weeks, but then suddenly started having errors connecting. It appears to download the headers successfully, but I then get the following message:

Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain that your login information is correct, then try again to send and receive mail.

I can assure you that my login setting are correct, as I am getting email headers in my inbox. Every message has the Message will download next time you connect and receive e-mail indicator, but Send/Receive always fails. I've tried deleting the account and setting it up again, but it almost seems like I've been blacklisted or something by Yahoo (which is BS since I actually have a Yahoo! Plus account).

I recall reading that Yahoo IMAP is really only intended for iPhone users. Is that true, and if so, does anyone know how to get past the automatic setup that seems forced upon us when donig email setup? I would actually prefer to just set up POP access, but can't seem to get to the manual configuration screens on my TP2 (I used to be able to do this on my PPC-6800).

Thanks for any suggestions!

UPDATE: I figured out that entering a bogus email domain name (e.g. yahoob.com) will get you to the manual config screens. This solved my problem, and I was able to configure Yahoo POP mail access.
