If EVERYTHING but the ID stuff are the same at your and your friends phones, I suggest you look it over very carefully. I swapped places for the POP3 and SMTP numbers myself. Emberassing! And try to start up your phone again, after doing any changes. It seems to be important. Good luck!  |

I've tried numerous IP combinations, but still with no success.
Can anyone confirm if they are able to access a yahoo account using vodafone ?
Thanks

Actually,
Friend's account works impeccably on MY phone, and when I punch in my account name and password (well checked a dozen of times), it says Wrong mailbox or password. Go figure.
It's really painful and kinda humiliating - she can check her e-mail from my phone, but no access when I give it a try. Does anyone have an idea what might be at stake here (apart from personal issues between me and my phone)?

Moodswinger:
You have to specifically enable POP3 access to your Yahoo! account. You can enable this by clicking on the Options area of Yahoo! mail under "POP Access and Forwarding". You'll have to agree to get spam from Yahoo once a week, but you can just filter that out by setting up a filter to delete anything from "Yahoo-Delivers@yahoo-inc.com". The filters are also in the options area.
I tested this by disabling pop access on my Yahoo account, and I came up with the login error myself. I'm sure this is your problem.
Hope this helps!

Zucchini,
Are you using the names for the pop and smtp servers or are you putting in IP addresses? Also, is it still saying wrong ID/password? |

Michael,
You really rock this stuff. Indeed, it worked once I enabled my POP3 access to Yahoo! account (didn't know I actually disabled it by rejecting their spam when opening the account).
Thanks, dude, I really owe you one.
On a different account, the color craze, how come no one talks about the navy blue ones? Have you seen those?
They look nice, but I think these two options for the masses are more attractive.
Cheers,

You're welcome, moodswinger.
I like helping because I had such a hard time setting mine up. It was frustrating. But once it finally worked, I was pleased. |
