Connecting to yahoo mail? - Motorola Q Forum

dlicursi · 11-07-2006, 06:38 AM

I have tried to do the auto setup for connecting my yahoo email to the motorola Q and it just says downloading forevetr and never seems to do anything. Does anyone have any tips or know how I can make yahoo my main mail account on the Q

I believe you need to pay for the upgraded yahoo account ($20 per month or so) and you will be able to receive yahoo mails from external accounts.

Use Yahoo Go Mobile program. Here is the link.

If your yahoo service came bundled with dsl from say sbc, the servers are different. They would be pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com etc

I used the link which you provided and it worked perfectly. How do you set up more than one yahoo account? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Wow! SANMAN! Thanks for the link!

I didn't think I could get Yahoo! Mail without stepping up to Premium service.

Another myth....BUSTED!

Don't they provide you with a Yahoo premium acct. just for being a customer?

To get 2 or more yahoo accounts sent to your Q you will need to upgrade to POP for each and set each on up on the Q. YahooGo the older version for the Q works for the most part. However, too many emails were not getting to my Q and still sitting in my Yahoo account despite it a connection. Due to the program being unstable for email, I upgraded to the POP which is well worth the $20...far more reliable. But I still use Go for backing up contacts, appointments, pictures, etc.
