OK – i have my yahoo mail and my work mail set up on my new Atrix. I know they are set up because I can see mail from both accounts in my messaging widgets…but I can’t seem to make another icon for the 2nd account. I can select one from my shortcuts or from teh app menu, but i can’t figure how to make different icons for each mail account. I also can’t get my work or yahoo contact lists to sync with my contact list on the phone. Than you!!!

Im trying to put a yahoo email on my droid (original Verizon droid phone)Its not working. I went to email (entered email and password), clicked on manual setup, then clicked imap – this is where I get stuck. I cant get past the incoming server. It keeps saying “unable to connect to server” WHY is this happening?

ANY help would be appreciated!!!!!!!

I have a new Droid that I am getting used to. But the Yahoo mail app makes a notification sound every time I get a new mail. How can I turn this off? And, while I am at it, is there a way to set separate notification sounds for different functions? I get my Zedge text message notification every time I plug the thing into my computer.\\

I’m getting used to this thing, but it does not seem as intuitive as my iPhone was. And that’s coming from an Apple…well, not hater, but definitely disliker.

I got my Motorola Droid2 at the beginning of October, almost 4 months ago. My Yahoo mail has been working great the whole time.
Suddenly, this week, it stopped automatically checking for new messages. The little icon at the top of the phone that says when there are new messages doesn’t pop up and the light doesn’t blink. The only way for me to get new messages is to manually ask it to refresh.
Also, now if I read a new message on my phone, it doesn’t get marked as “read” when I open Yahoo on my computer.
How can I fix this??

Mr ROb and SMilepack you are a genius. I do not know how you figured this out but it has helped me out in such a great way. My Tmobile My touch 3.5 had been exchanged four times due to this email problem. I was about to drop T mobile. All those phones I received from T mobile had the same problem with the email. Someone from Tmobile needs to see you. This post fixed my yahoo email issue. I will pass it on. it works perfect everytime as if I was on my yahoo page. I do massages and I need my emails through my phone.
