Why did yahoo mail stop working on my android phone?

  • Why did yahoo mail stop working on my android phone? I can send emails, but can't receive. I have reconfigured and deleted the account without any luck. Netscape and Hotmail continues to work fine.

  • Answer:

    Seems this problem exists for ALL Internet-based "smartphones", not exclusive to Androids. Yahoo is menacingly silent about the issue--which greatly concerns me. Yahoo announced in a couple of days ALL their active email account users will switch to a "new and improved" Yahoo email service. I pray I'm wrong here---but it seems Yahoo seeks to make Internet based smart phone users PAY for full email service via their Androids, iPhones and other smart phone devices. And I'm really hoping to be wrong in thinking Yahoo may extend their bullying home email users into paying for full email service. I can understand Yahoo's frustration: They got snubbed by Microsoft--something that lost them a billion-plus dollar windfall. And there hasn't been a stampede of Yahoo email users paying them so they can have those pesky advertisements pop up and slow down or occasionally disable email service. Yahoo sees Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook success--and wants to "keep up with the Joneses". But Yahoo would be wise to take a hard look at what happened to Juno email when they sold out their free email users---and morphed into the awful joke of dial up Internet service, NetZero. A fool's greed, aggravated by haste, only finds him failure and ruin in the end.

Mine quit on Sunday. The answer I keep running into is that in order to have a NON-Yahoo application receive your email, you must pay the 20.00 for Yahoo! Mail Plus. That's total BS. Also, as I have seen on several forums, as soon as I started using the Yahoo Main Android app, my email got hacked and I had to reset my password before it would let me in again...

Same here. How annoying! Last yahoo email I received was on Friday PM. Can send, but can not download inbox or sent messages.

yahoo is trying to force they mail apps on everyone. the only way to get it now is to use the website or there app that does not work without you downloading the messenger app also. Yahoo now sucks as bad as the rest..

I have had the same issue since yesterday. Just stopped working. I checked all settings, removed the account, double checked I am a paid up yahoo plus mail member, changed password on my laptop, re-started on phone new account, etc..and still nothing...this is not good.... The only other think one can do is go to the Android Market and download the Yahoo! Mail app, and that works fine, however, because it continually 'pushes' mail it sucks the life from my battery. Just need to know how to resolve this yahoo issue that was NOT caused by me or my phone!!
