Now i KNOW that i can always go to yahoo.com and log in tehre, but it takes a long time to load the page and i cant pay the internet fees yet. can anyone help me to set it up if it can be done??
Guest hotphil Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I've not got a Yahoo! account myself so I'm not sure they allow access. Check on your Yahoo! site and see if they do a thing callled POP3 access. It may be a premium service that you have to pay for. If so, you will need the following settings from them: your username your password incoming (POP3) mail server name outgoing (SMTP) mail server name Once armed with those details it is fairly easy to set it up. If Yahoo! won't allow access that way (or you don't fancy paying), there may be an auto-forwarding feature on your account. You could use that to send a copy of each mail to a different provider which you could then connect to.
Guest Geeklord Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 I've contacted Yahoo before and no, they won't give you their server settings. I even employed the services of one of my IT friends and we still can't get Yahoo to be a mail client for the smartphone. I think the same goes for any other commercial web mail. But there are web-based servers that will give you that sort of service free of charge. one of those is hotpop.com. If you really want to send email through your phone, then that would be the alternative. But if you really want Yahoo, I suppose becoming a member may give you certain priveledges.
Guest tonijj Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 Just get Sunnysofts Email application instead. I got Spray Mail (lycos) and there is no way I can get that thing working with the inbuilt Outlook on my Qtek 8010. However, with this app it takes seconds and it starts fetching my mails 8) The server name for Yahoo is most likely: pop.yahoo.com or pop3.yahoo.com smtp.yahoo.com Try that and get back here with the results :)
