Okay, if you want to try to set it up manually, try this (Make sure you have a signal or it won't work):
- From the email app, go to Preferences & Accounts
- Click Add An Account
- Tap the Email menu at the top and then choose Manual Setup
- Set the mail type to IMAP
- Type in your full Yahoo email address (ex. username@yahoo.com)
- For the incoming mail server type: palm.imap.mail.yahoo.com
- For the Username, type in your full Yahoo email address
- For password, your Yahoo password
- Change Encryption to SSL (this will change the port number to 993)
- Under Outgoing mail server, type palm.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
- Set Use Authentication to ON
- Under Username, type your full Yahoo email address
- Enter your Yahoo password
- Change Encryption to SSL (this will change the port number to 465)
- Click Sign In
That should work for you.
