Hi Guys,
I've tried unsuccsefully, (even with Angiepeas help!) & even contacting Yahoo to get the e-mail widget working with my N97 for my ymail account. I believe that IMAP4 doesnt work as Yahoo blocks it if you're not an iPhone and i tried pop3 settings and they didnt seem to work either.
So please, anyone who has the settings that work, post them below. I will gladly buy a pint for the winner.
Connection Settings->Incoming e-mail->
[INDENT] Incoming mail server: imap.n.mail.yahoo.com
Mailbox type: IMAP4
Security: Off
Port: Default[/INDENT]
Connection Settings->Outoing e-mail->
[INDENT] Outgoing mail server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Security: Off
Port: 587[/INDENT]
Hi rdcinhou, does yours auto-update when new mails arrive?
When i use these settings, the default ones, the mailbox connects the first time, but it wont auto-retreive and soon wont connect. It gives me an error about the password and username being wrong, but it's actually Yahoo who say they block non-iphone requests for IMAP4.
I just tried it from scratch and it failed again, unable to retrieve. Anyone else?
still a yahoo man then :tongue:
My Messaging auto-retreivals are set up for sbcglobal.net (powered by Yahoo) and Hotmail.
My AOL, Gmail and Yahoo "free" accounts are on-demand (since Messaging allows only TWO (2) auto-retreivals to be set up.
I also have MfE (Mail for Exchange) working for my business email. I'm a little disappointed with it since [COLOR="Magenta"]iPhone [/COLOR]users can see all of their folders on the Exchange server. MfE on the N97 can only see my InBox.
I have not had problems with any of them except a few times when Yahoo is doing maintenance--and then I have received some of their error messages. Trying later always seems to work.
