I took the advice from someone else and just configured my email (from a desktop, NOT the phone)to not automatically save sent messages and it stopped the multiple copies of sent mail when I send from my DROID.

Thanks for this. I was having trouble connecting to my Yahoo account. I do not understand why turning on WiFi sorts out the connection problem.

I’m having this duplicating problem using a Microsoft Outlook work account that I also access from home using Thunderbird. I’m not able to switch from port 587 to port 25 (I think due to security issues); I tried and it won’t work. Any other suggestions? The thousands of duplicate sent messages are a significant problem.

THANKS! What a pain in the butt this has been. Should have searched Phandroid before Att Yahoo & Google.

TO THE WORD GUY – you’re right. Tried it once before rereading that I had to turn off WiFi.

To JLynn – I was having force close issues and the phone would unknowingly turn off constantly. Called Verizon and they troubleshot the phone. Sent me a new one. I think they have great customer service. Good luck. Call Verizon.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM Motorola???!!!!! WHY haven’t you fixed this multiple Yahoo “sent items” problem??? Like SOOOO many other people, I have deleted, and deleted, and deleted, but the Sent items keep popping up! FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW!!! Not tomorrow! NOW!!! WhyTF is this taking so long?

For two, you promise us this Update from the mobile Gods, but we are STILL WAITING! WhyTF is this taking so long as well? If there’s not a fix at this time, AT LEAST LETS US KNOW YOU’RE WORKING ON IT!

Sincerely,

The Man Who Had a F’ing DROID

Thanks a million. I was stressing over trying to add my yahoo. I am job hunting and did not want to have to set a whole new email for my resume.

Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to get this to work since the day I got my Droid. I don’t understand why this whole process was needed though. They should get that fixed. But thanks again!

I set up my yahoo account on my Droid and everything was working fine until I changed my password. Now when I try to get in it says “username or password incorrect” How do I get back to the manual settings to update my password?

I have been experiencing a lot of problems with my droid…it says force close when I try to txt or call…when this happens all my txt are gone and that is irritating because there were txt messages I wanted to save…also earlier tonight I was waiting for my boyfriend to call or txt me and it has been a while so I picked up my phone and I realize it shut off on its own and when I turned it on I had a few txts he thought I was ignoring him…it caused a fight so if you have any answers please let me know…this phone almost cost me the love of my life.

As long a WiFi is off, I can access my free Yahoo account. When folks keep posting “it doesn’t work” they should add “for me” because it demonstrably DOES work for many! At the risk of being flamed, never underestimate the power of user error – and the unwillingness of folks to accept that they have messed up ;)

Thanks for the instructions. They DO work.
