Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search but found only one thread that mentions mailwatcher.exe in Task Manager.

I have a Yahoo account that I set up when I first bought my phone a few weeks ago. It doesn't receive email unless I tell it to. I have tried deleting it from the accounts list, but it doesn't go anywhere. I also cannot access its "settings" (the words are in the menu but I can't click on it). And, lately I have been getting 8 spam emails/day on the Yahoo account when I used to get 4/month. These things seem really weird and I'm wondering if mailwatcher is a virus or something. I'd read bad things here about the McAfee Virus Scan so I'm not sure if I should run it.

I was able to set up a second account for the same Yahoo account using the instructions under the "Help & Quickstart". This one works well and I can access the settings.

How can I delete the original one? Every time I click delete it just sits there smiling at me ;)

Thank you,
dan
