hello all

as i am having a mind bending amount of trouble accessing my blueyonder emails from my k500i via virgin, i have upgraded my yahoo email to mail plus - a cost of 20 bucks. however, now when i use my phone to log into yahoo mail, it always says "ID or password incorrect" when it is NOT incorrect! grrr. does anyone know why this might happen and how i can go about fixing it?? i am starting to shake and have feelings of a technology conspiracy against me

Did you get the pop3 settings from yahoo? Did you put the username correctly. Have you tried with and without "@yahoo.com" ?

HAPPY NEW YEAR from the UK. Are you using the wap page to log on or are you using the email system on the phone? If you are using the WAP site, i think they are having upgrading problem at the moment. The whole wap yahoo site has been given an overhall. I can log in ok, its just when i try to view an email it then says, "page not found" or something along those lines. I keep trying everyday. Sometime it'll work again. Hopefully soon.

@gov - yes - ive tried it with both. yahoo says to do it without the ".com" so ive tried both ways

@owen - ahh ok - perhaps they are still having issues then. wish i could at least get past the login page though! i think my phone must have some wrong setting on it. i'm new at this and my ignorance is driving me insane! i connect via gprs (virgin) to wap.yahoo.co.uk and go from there

I have problem with yahoo messenger via wap. If i click that link it give me an error that page cannot be found. Also if i want to login to yahoo mail (web interface) it give me an 'cookies rejected' error and dont let me to login. However sometime let me, but in the most cases dont work. I think this problem appeared when they updated the server for giving us 250mb for mail. Hope this is a temporary problem and get fixed as soon as possible. Btw, i'm on orange
