Is any one else having a problem getting WM messaging to connect to yahoo mail? I have been searching all over the web for an answer and can not find one. I have deleted and added my account with both POP and IMAP settings, but the my Omnia will not connect. Please help...

I don't have an Omnia; I have an Incite. However I have no issues with Yahoo mail through messaging. Can you recieve but not send? I know MS had to patch messaging for WM 6.1. I believe it is KB958639.

I hope this helps.

Actually, I am having the opposite problem. I can't seem to receive email.

I have an Omnia i910 on Verizon and have no problem with Yahoo mail. I just used the messaging application to setup Yahoo and it did all the work. No problems sending or receiving that along with 4 other email accounts.

You may have something in the settings for Yahoo, or your 3G access that is preventing the account from syncing.

I used to have a problem on the Omnia with Yahoo but not for a while now.

To get around my original issue was to add a new email account and misspell yahooo so it couldnt download the settings when creating the account.
Once the false account was set-up i would then go in and amend the details.

I've been having issues the past few days. I'm more inclined to think it's either an issue with Verizon or Yahoo, and not my beloved Omnia

I got it resolved. I contacted Yahoo tech support, who supposedly reset something in my account. Then I deleted my account on my phone, restarted it, and set up my yahoo account again. Now it works.
