yahoo: Syncing account...?

[lenalav0ce]

Hello, everyone

my phone(palm pre plus/verizon) is constantly showing "yahoo: syncing account" or "yahoo: syncing complete!".
i guess it's a good thing that yahoo is syncing so deligently, but also I find it bit annoying.
it started all of a sudden about a week ago. was there any new update that i am not aware of?


(this is my first posting. i'm not even sure this is the right place. thanks for reading. ^-^)

You can set it to check for mail less frequently. It's probably always done it but perhaps it completed more quickly if there were fewer changes. You can also set it to "manual" so it won't check unless you tell it to.

The only time I've seen that message is when I first set the account up and it did the initial sync.

Then something's wrong, i'm afraid..!
i even tried removing my yahoo email account, but no use.
i see this every 5 minutes or so!

thanks for your input, but i don't think this has anything to do with emails. this showed even when i removed my yahoo email account. (i do use yahoo calendar, tho)

problem solved.
i chatted on line with Ruth on Palm Support. She suggested that I take off yahoo email account and calendar, and add them back on.
i actually removed all my calendars and emails, then restarted my phone, and added everything after.
So far, i haven't seen any error.

I'm having the same problem. I had used a Yahoo email account on my Pre 2 as my primary account, email/calendar/contacts syncing with Outlook via Chapura. I had to remove the Yahoo account for various reasons, and now use only Gmail accounts.

I have the sync icon in the lower-right corner of the screen now and it will not stop "syncing". I had to manually delete the Yahoo Calendar and Contacts in order to get rid of the account altogether, then I rebooted the phone but it hasn't worked.

My wireless provider doesn't know (doesn't want to help) so I'm wondering if you have any other thoughts on how to get rid of this. I don't want to delete all my accounts, I have about 5 and it would be a pain.

Thanks.

In case anyone is still having this problem..

I tried uninstalling the email and reinstalling...etc. Nothing worked. It was SO annoying.

So I removed the email again, and noticed it STILL did it. So I restarted my phone, reinstalled email, then REMOVED my yahoo calendar AND yahoo contacts account. I don't know which one is the problem, but IT WORKED! No more syncing messages!

I've started having this issue with Google accounts a week or so ago, which was fixed by removing all accounts and readding. HOWEVER, rebooting the phone caused the issue to come back...
