I'm having the same problem. And people keep saying it's because you have to pay for premium service but I don't know if that's right. It will work fine once for me and then won't work again until I turn off my cue or delete the account. Please help if anybody knows what's going on with that!

you have to have Yahoo Mail Plus. the free yahoo will not work, it does not supprt POP3. its only ike 20 bucks a year, and you can simply upgrade your current account, that wa you d not hae to change yurcurrent email address, you can continue to use the same account.

I dont think that is true unless they recently changed it. On my last Q regular Yahoo worked with no problems. Now that I have a new Sprint Q, its not working.

Can someone check this again and post the correct setup.

I have a Blackberry and the yahoo comes straight to it. When I get my Q this week will I be able to continue using it without paying? I'm on Verizon.

Because of certain updates from yahoo, I don't believe the free yahoo email works anymore.

I have yahoo pushed to my phone through the YahooGo! application. The only drawback is, you have to manually send/recieve every time you want to see your new mail.

I personally have regular 'Y-MAIL' set up on my Q. Works fine for me. I set the account up on the P.C. And although I do not have it set up to 'push' to the Q, I do have the y-mail folder list saved as a favorite on P.I.E. I've never had a problem with hitting the browser,bringing up the folder list, and checking my mail. I also have a Hotmail account set up this way.
To take advantage of the Q's 'PUSH' capabilities, I do have a G-mail account set up to utilize that

Thanks, as always
