HTC Inspire VS. Yahoo Mail
I am having a problem with Yahoo! Mail not working on my device. I'm continually being told my username/password combination is incorrect. I read another post where a customer had the same issue and found that if they disconnect from WiFi it will work. This did work for a few days, even though I shouldn't have to do this just to get my mail, but I'm a patient person. The problem, however, is now it isn't working on either the network or WiFi. I've had to download the Yahoo! Mail App to get my emails. Again, I'm OK with this as long as I get my mail. I'm just curious if other's are having the same problem and if there's a solution? Your thoughts are appreciated.

I did finally get my Yahoo mail set up with the regular Mail app provided on the phone. However, I'm connected to WiFi while at work and now I can't get my yahoo mail to work.
Is this a known issue yahoo when connected to Wifi?

Thanks, RicoLX. I will give it a try tomorrow when I have some more time. I'm guessing that I would have to have Wi-Fi disabled to fully be able to access the mail? If this is going to be a problem, then I'll just use my Mail app on my iPod Touch. It has absolutely no problem recognizing my Yahoo! Mail account on there... It must be some type of Android issue with the Yahoo! accounts or something...

I sure hope not. I always check my Yahoo! Mail account on my Touch, and it works. (I guess I'm kind of re-explaining my above post, whoops... ;)) But Wi-Fi is a MUST for me, as I don't want to incur any prepaid data charges through the data network on my Captivate while trying to just check my mail... I hope this is going to work out as planned...

I had problems also with yahoo and hotmail. Sometimes I'd get new emails other times I wouldn't, whether on WIFI or not.
Solved my problem with an app called K9-MAIL from the market. Best email app I've used.

There was a minor typo in the settings listed in this thread. SMTP Server should be smtp.mail.yahoo.com, not smpt.... This page will give you the instructions for how to enter the settings.

I am also having the same issue but i cant send emails out. I recieve them perfectly fine just cant reply to anything. I get the same "Authentication failed" or "Cannot connect to mail server to verify account information" when I try to enter the settings mentioned above. Email was working fine since I got my Inspire but this just started happening. Any ideas, help!
