Yahoo E-mail problem/Question

[sandman512]

I am running WM 6.1 on my touch and for some reason I cannot SEND e-mail from my phone. I can receive though. I get an error to check my coverage and settings. Any ideas/thoughts? Also while I got you, is there a way to put a "signature" in my send email(when fixed). Something like "sent via my touch" Thanks!

try deleting your email account and set it up again.

if u let your phone setup your account automatically .. it sets up yahoo account as imap4 which is wrong.. needs to be pop3 .... initially put in yahoo1.net then when it asks to look online for setup hit no.. then manually put in the incoming/outgoing servers... then when done go back and update to yahoo.com

I just set my touch up late last week with 6.1 and have two separate yahoo email accounts on it. I let both configure automatically, and both send and receive emails fine. Perhaps you set yours up before then?? If so, I'd recommend removing and then setting up the yahoo account again.

That I've done, quite awhile ago in fact, but the account still shows up. It is no longer in that settings list but is still part of my account picker

I found for some reason when I save my password, that when I go back and check it it is entered 3 times. I have a 6 character password and when I check there are 18 characters entered. When I uncheck save password it prompts me for my password every time but works. BTW it set up automatically as Imap and does work.

thats just the password mask so you don't know how many characters the password is.
