Rocketmail? (Yahoo! mail)

[JWho]

When setting up an email account xxxxxxx@yahoo.com is recognized easily and automatically set up on the G1. This is great as I have a couple yahoo accounts.

However... I also have a @rocketmail.com account (rocketmail is a domain Yahoo! created that they added to their list when you sign up). It is essentially... no wait, IT IS Yahoo! Mail, but with a different domain. That is the only difference.

However the G1 does not recognize this as a yahoo mail system (the same goes for @ymail.com) and automatically goes to the POP / IMAP settings. Which you cannot obtain witthout signing up for Yahoo! Mail Plus which is $20 / year. I found a site that actually had the POP settings but they did not work. Im no email server expert but there must be a flag that they trow onto an account to let them now if it's accessable through POP.

Anybody know if rocketmail is coming in an update? Thanks.

I have a @ymail.com and I don't get through the set up either. Some people say that it goes through but I haven't had any success with that or my @live.com account

Thanks for the reply. I hope this gets fixed soon, or they add those domains!

Regarding the Microsoft Live mail (aka hotmail.com or any other purchased officelive domain), just choose the manual setup. The following account settings work in the US:
