Yahoo! mail is currently unsupported by Android 1.5, i believe...it'll be fixed with the firmware update that is rumored to come in January (Android 2.0/2.1)

Not true! I have Yahoo set up on my HTC Droid Eris. You have to set it up as Imap and make sure your WiFi is turned off. I then have it set to search every 4 hours for mail. I have not had any problems.

Caution: Before Proceeding, ensure that WIFI is turned OFF. This only works via Verizon 3G Signal.

Go to Mail icon: You will be prompt to enter in a username and password. Enter in your Yahoo email
Click on the Manual Setup at the bottom left corner
In the incoming server setting, entering as followed
username: xxx@yahoo.com (enter in your complete yahoo email address)
password: enter in your yahoo password account
IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143
Security Type: None
IMAP Path Prefix: leave blank / Optional

Press next to continue with SMTP Server. Once on that screen, enter in these settings

SMTP: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Security Type: None
Check "required Sign-In"
Username: xxx@yahoo.com
Password: your email password
Now click through next and fill out the name, etc. You are done

God bless you!!! I haven't found a fix for getting my yahoo mail until this one. I have had my ERIS since Dec 27th and in search of a solution since. Love the phone but was not feeling good about settling with giving up my yahoo accounts.

Thanks a bunch!
